A Refuge at Night

The camps are not safe at night. As the families lie down to sleep, on ground covered in volcanic rocks, they can hear the fighting and bombs. Mutobe and Furaha are the coordinators of the Katembe community-based organization (CBO). At night, Mutobe sleeps at the Care Point to protect the food for the children. Furaha opens her small tent to offer protection to many children who don’t have a parent at home that night. Recently, during a gathering of Care Workers where they were using scripture to pray, they reflected on Psalm 56: 3: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Furura said that she would pray this verse each night.
