THE BOOK
Nearly every child in Uganda is affected by poverty, HIV/AIDS, abduction, and brutal war. Many have witnessed trauma that no child should ever experience. And yet, despite their lost innocence, these children still possess a burning desire to succeed and to serve their country. Transforming Lives: Turning Uganda’s Forgotten Children Into Leaders (Star Bright Books, October 2009) documents the inspirational stories of young and talented Ugandan boys and girls who ead their country to a brighter future. These children are beating the odds through a combination of personal grit and determination, and with the help of L.E.A.D Uganda, an educational leadership initiative founded by photographer and child advocate Stephen Shames, that seeks out forgotten children and offers them education, security, emotional support, and most importantly, the chance to become the next leaders of the country they love.
Through the children’s essays and drawings and Shames’ photographs, Transforming Lives presents a compelling and candid portrait of these resilient children of Uganda. AIDS orphans, former child soldiers, child laborers, and children living in refugee camps are now attending the best schools in their country alongside the children of Uganda’s elite, earning high marks, gaining self esteem, and experiencing first-hand the healing and transforming powers of education.
