Description

“A.K.,” an 8-year-old "Kamajoh," had been fighting since the age of 6. Kamajohs are traditional hunters who volunteer their service in defending their villages against rebel forces. After going through an initiation ceremony, Kamajohs believe they possess magical powers that deflect enemy bullets. (http://www.usaid.gov)
