THE UNICEF goodwill ambassador, Clay Aiken, has visited Kitgum district branch of the Gulu Support the Children Organisation (GUSCO) centre for war-affected children. He interacted with children formerly abducted by LRA rebels before visiting Pabbo IDP camp in Gulu on May 25. Aiken, one of the top American pop stars on a five-day visit of northern and eastern Uganda to monitor activities of UNICEF in the war-troubled regions, was yesterday expected in Katakwi. The GUSCO advocacy officer, Francis Odokorach Shanty, said Aiken’s visit to GUSCO is to see what the organisation is doing as a partner in handling the children. Aiken promised to look after one orphan at the centre. Published on: Friday, 27th May, 2005

Clay Aiken to visit Northern
Uganda Children. If you follow reality TV, then Clay Aiken is not
new to you. The multi-platinum selling musician came into the
limelight in early 2003 after wooing millions of TV viewers in the
American Idols talent search competition. A release from Unicef
Uganda offices says that Aiken will tour Unicef supported projects
in northern Uganda, visit Internally Displaced Peoples' Camps, night
commuter shelters and reception centres for formerly abducted
children in Kitgum, Gulu and Katakwi districts beginning today. He
is expected to end his tour on Friday.
