NAIROBI, 13 November 2008 (IRIN) - Monica Atto

"Things were difficult when I went back. Because I was a returnee my uncle expected that I'd had lots of help from NGOs and was wanting things from me"

Dalson Oyo

"We have a lady who cooks for the children in the school. The parents don't have money so instead they will dig her garden for her" [Updated 4 August]

Esther Lalam

"Every year in November we would have a prayer for the ancestors. My sisters come all the way up from Jinja and Kampala. It's called nipo – 'remembrance' in Acholi." [7 August]

Owiny Lakaragic

"When I first came back all I could hear was the birds singing. So quiet, it was beautiful. I thought I was dreaming and started to cry"

George Oringa

"When so many people couldn't dig they just went to the bar to drink. They lost their dignity. And now some are finding those habits difficult to change"
