Drawing, then talking about it

Annotation: Evelyn Amony explains how survivors used drawings to tell stories. The drawings provide a view into family life. Amony is speaking in Acholi in the audio recording and Grace Acan translates in English. Transcript (by Patricia Trudel): "The drawing is illustrating how we used to tell our stories. So, each one would draw, then draw something and then talk about, like it shows for example, how LRA setting, like a camp, a typical camp was. Of all these homes of commanders you see, despite their being so close, like, each family was not allowed to go and visit another or see or speak to them. So, despite the closeness of the families can stay like two months without seeing the next one, much as you are so close to each other. So there were like, strict regulations that governs, hum, like families or like LRA community."
