It all began in 1988...
Irene Gleeson visited Africa and was concerned at the plight of children there. In 1991 she sold her Sydney beachside home, founded CHILDCARE Kitgum Servants (CKS)  and waved a teary goodbye to her 4 children and grandchildren. She towed her caravan to the war zone of Kitgum of North Uganda, gathered
50 war traumatised children under a mango tree and began to teach and feed them.
