Invisible Children
I wanted to include a post about the Invisible Children Organization, as I had the opportunity to meet four of its volunteer supporters on their way to teach seminars about Invisible Children in various schools throughout the Southwest United States. The foundation was created after three college boys learned of Joseph Koni, a rebel leader in Uganda who has created (over the course of the last 30 years,) an army of children to the tune of nearly 35,000. The children seen in this video, are recorded taking refuge for the night in abandon warehouses inside the city, so as to avoid abduction by Koni into the LRA (or, The Lord's Resistance Army,) Koni's band of child soldiers. This is just a brief promo, but you should check out their website to learn a little more... www.invisiblechildren.com
