Muttoo said he and a new group of vol- unteers plan on returning to the village in mid-2011 to begin phase two of the proj- ect, which involves creating a fish farm at the site. Bringing a fish farm to the village will not only provide the children with a sus- tainable supply of food, but will give those running the village a revenue source they will be able to sell the fish not needed for the village or for breeding. Having previously visited the village, Muttoo was able to talk about some of the children he encountered. At first the children, because of abuse and because of trust issues, took a little bit of time to warm up to us, but once they did it was an amazing experience just to inter- act with them and just talk to them about normal kid things like soccer or playing, said Muttoo. These kids never really had a chance to be normal children because they were taken to be soldiers. I met childrensome didnt have eyes or were disfigured in some way, but to us they are still human beings, and we went there just to tell them that were coming to help them. After the stable water supply is provided by H20 4All, Muttoo said, Watoto will build a school where the children will receive an education and psychological treatment. Muttoo said this is important if the chil- dren are to get past not only the horrible things that were done to them, but the hor- rible things they were forced to do to others. All of the children in village are orphans. In some cases this is because the Lords Resistance Army killed their parents; in other cases it is because the rebels actual- ly forced the children to kill their own par- ents. Once abducted, the boys were forced to join the rebels in carrying out horrific atrocities against their own communities as child soldiers while the girls were used as sex slaves. When Im talking to the children, it would come out in different ways things that had happened to them, things that had occurred, said Muttoo. Most of the children dont remember how many peo- ple theyve killed. Once escaping from the rebels former child soldiers are often unable to return to their villages and whatever family they have left because the villagers sometimes kill them. To the villagers, they are the enemy not children. Muttoo said the approach Watoto takes towards rehabilitating the children is unique as each home in the village has a house mother who cares for about eight of the children. This practice is intended to give the children back the sense of family, which was so brutally torn away from them. Providing the clean water that will allow this village to thrive is not the only project H20 4All has underway. The organizations community link Water Mojo is holding meetings in Halton every other week where interested parties can come and learn about the water crisis currently facing the planet. The water issues over there are going to eventually be here. The same water issues that the majority of the people around the world are suffering from and which are killing them is going to eventu- ally affect us due to our overuse and pollu- tion of our own waters. We are going to run out of fresh water period, said Lindsay Hurst, executive assistant, H20 4All volunteer coordinator. So if we dont care enough about what is happening now, its going to spread. Its not going to stay in Africa or India. It is going affect all of our water. Not to men- tion the fact that other people are suffer- ing and they need the people with the resources to help them.
