Adjumani, Uganda – Weeks after violence erupted in in South Sudan, Mike Marchar fled for his life. He found safe haven in the Ayilo Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda, but lost track of his family. He doesn’t know whether they are still alive. The carnage he witnessed has stayed with him.
But there is one thing that takes his mind off those horrors: football.
“Football is my life. When I play football, I forget about the past because it keeps my mind occupied. I also make new friends,” said Mr. Marchar.
