Social life at the Acholi quartes ( Auma Betty)

Acholi quarter is a name which came about as a result of many Acholi who migrated from the north as a result of the war to this area, which given to them as a result of the Kabaka's kindness to these war affected people.

Due to this congestion , the moral behaviour of the community is generally appalling - because financially they are poor people and as a result , alcohol consumption is very high such that marrages are breaking up daily, and young girls indulge in love affairs so early and thus so many fatherless children who are unable to go school due to lack of fees. The standard of living here is very low, many have no access to facilities like televisions, radios , or even just bicycles to transport themselves around as it's the most used means of transport in this particular area, let alone the basic ones like food and clothing.

This therefore calls for more attention from both national and interational bodies , which may help give a bit of development and could do alot to the behavioural change in this small society , which if left to go on like this , could lead to an influx even in the neighbouring villages and you can imagine what this would eventually look like. I think we all have a role to play in this situaton. Can we all then stand up and join hands to make a change in this little but infested village?
