Children love to play, but for some children, the idea of simple joyful playtime can seem very far away. These boys and girls may look differently than others, and not be able to move around as others do. They lost their arms or legs during the past war.

An organization near Uganda’s capital is working hard to change that. It is bringing together doctors, volunteers and kind-hearted people from around the world. They have set the first center for treating disabled children in Uganda.

On a thick grass outside the hospital, a lot of patients do sports as they like, Some are playing football. Some are playing basketball. They compete in sports, play games and even perform silly dances. The theme of the day is simply: Let Them Play. This is a rare event for children who are missing arms or legs.

The aim of the event is to raise money for a new playground and sports field. The organizers want to make the old playground into an area that is friendly to all sorts of disabled children.

Life for the disabled in Uganda is difficult, but for children it is even more difficult. They can’t go to school.

Christine Tusiime is the organizer of the center. She talks about the problems facing the disabled in Uganda. She says that a disabled child may have trouble communicating, or getting on well with others.

In the centre, there are areas where doctors can operate on patients. There are also therapy rooms, housings and even a primary school. Therapies can last from a few days to a few months.
