Across the country, Ugandan children are getting ready for the biggest event of the year, the National Music Competition. Over 20,000 schools will compete and a group of Patongo?s students pour their hearts into winning this year?s music competition. The war has stolen their homes, their parents, and their childhood. Patongo?s refugee camp packs 60,000 people into its endless squalor. There is no electricity, no running water, and no safe place.
