About Me
- Name: Amy B.
In just week 3 of a 12 month stint in Uganda in 2003, I first witnessed the horrific impact of conflict on communities and children in particular, when I traveled to the north of the country. After witnessing the phenomenon of night commuters and hearing the stories of formerly abducted child soldiers, my perspective on life changed dramatically - why had I not heard of this before and why did the rest of the world seem to not give a damn? My experiences in Uganda prompted a career change towards human rights issues (especially child rights) - in my own backyard (Oz certainly has its share) and overseas. Now it's time to work in a different pocket of the world - Bangladesh!!
