More quotes by Grace Akallo

There is hope. There is hope because I too believe that this Council will act and succeed like it has for child soldiers; for those thousands of children out there who still wait.

I have told my own story, but the stories you have not heard are thousands-fold.

I had learnt the advantages of education and I was determined to be the first person to go to university in my village.

I still wait for some of my friends to return, and I hope that everyone here will be committed to bring people like my friends back home.

I am not only here to talk about my own story but on behalf of all the children in armed conflict who have to face and survive the atrocities of war.
