Invisible Children

A few Sundays ago c|Life had Invisible Children there for the entire service. It was amazing. The people of Invisible Children are amazing. They are an organization started by 3 guys that went to Uganda in 2003. Since their documentary they have traveled the world raising support and awareness for the child-slaves that are forced to go to war for Joseph Kony - the head of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). They raise awareness and ask people to ask the US president to pass a bill to stop Kony.
GOOD NEWS! 
The bill passed congress this month and hopefully this will all be ended soon! Another thing Invisible Children does is raise money for children to go to school. Many of the children don't get to go to our type of high school and only 1% of girls get to go to university, as they call it.

Here is a picture of me with Lillian, a young girl from Northern Uganda here to spread awareness of the child-sodiers under Kony's rule.

This girl is truly inspiring. I hope everyone gets the chance to hear from an organization as neat as Invisible Children. If you are interested, please let me know - I have several CDs you can have or borrow!
