2010 Meeting Atto Concy As a grade 7 student Atto Concy managed 8 siblings while still performing well in school. She is incredibly quiet young woman who has found friendship with Atim Vicky and is blossoming with the care of mentor Jennifer Oyaro. Atto Concy's education is being supported in memory of Florence Lesniak. 2011 Update on Atto Concy
Concy's mother was also overwhelmed at having these visitors in her home, but she was gracious and appreciative of the support she was receiving. We complemented Concy on her incredible success at school. From term one to term three her class rank had increased significantly and she is an outstanding student. Though quiet by us, she was elected as a class representative at her school and is a member of the wildlife club. Earlier this year our daughter and our mentor, Jennifer, visited with Since she is so quiet by nature, I wanted to try to show another side of her personality. Since the neighborhood children had been sitting at the door of the home and watching us, I suggested that she try to organize the children into having a race. This seemed to put her at ease as she had fun with the children. We are grateful for the support of the members of the Flo Fund who are supporting Concy in memory of Aunt Florrie.

Concy lives one and half hours from the town of Gulu and lives in what had been the largest IDP's (internally-displaced persons camp) during the war. Unfortunately, we were not able to contact her before we arrived. When we arrived, she was home alone. By nature Concy is shy and quiet. She was surprised at our arrival and was not quite sure what to do, but invited us to sit in the house, while she tried to find her older brother. When he arrived we realized that her mom had gone to get some medicine. Eventually she was able to return home. 
Concy and she was very happy to see them.
