A “New Normal” for social change interventions: Focus on the positive deviants--
Between 1986 and 2007 over 50,000 children in Northern Uganda were abducted by the Lords Resistance Army. Children were exploited as porters, sex slaves, and soldiers. As the conflict died down many children escaped or were rescued.

This video documents the strategies used by the Positive Deviant girls, such as collecting extra firewood and water to sell, and listening to mentors.
