finally tonight, I went to a screening of a documentary called Invisible Children. it was held at the church I have been going to. There was a pretty large crowd there. It's more of a movement than a film. There is terrible injustice going on in Northern Uganda. I highly reccomend everyone spend some time and read about the sad plight of the children who are kidnapped and murdered and/or forced into a life of violence. Children who are raised to know no fear because fear is so beyond their comprehension. It is terribly sad. April 29th across New England we are going to sleep outside in the middle of our urban centers. It's not only in the NE that this is going on...it's all over the country! It's the least we can do to recognize the children who do this every night to escape kidnap by the LRA.

You know...well I don't know. I'm not going to go there. But check out the site, read some stories. This isn't a company who is putting all this together, who is motivating American youths and adults alike to go to Uganda and open schools and who are creating jobs for Ugandans...this is a bunch of kids my age, no older than 29 who are behind this movement. They take trips as often as they can to Uganda, they devote their time at home here in the U.S. to a cause they feel is so very important in a part of the world we so easily can forget is a part of our own. I find it very inspiring.  ¶ 3/13/2006 10:41:00 PM
