Visible Children

The guys who started Invisible Children are not only smart young men, but they had a dream and they continue to pursue justice for others. The amazing organization these three friends created not only raise funds to send to Uganda, but promote their cause through education. The website they created is easy to navigate and fun to find information. The dedication to sharing their stories is immense and beneficial to helping them raise funds. I found it shocking that there have been over 1800 abductions since 2009. Just to put that in perspective, that’s more than every kid in Deerfield High School alone. Although the documentary we watched in class took place in 2003, the war in Uganda has been going on for 25 years. The protection plan that Invisible Children will administer includes setting up FM radio towers that signal out and warn people when the LRA is close. I am glad that the money raised from School Chest will go to build a new tower. I hope that many more children will now feel safer in their homes. I am very impressed with this organization and proud to say that I have made an impact in supporting them.
