invisible children

In Africa, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has captured children, brainwashed them, and forced them to become brutal soldiers–or die. The LRA defines army training as killing another child, and they murder the children who refuse to comply.

Humanitarian organization Invisible Children wants to rescue these abducted children. Invisible Children started the Rescue, an event to raise awareness about the LRA abductions in Uganda, the DR Congo, and South Sudan. On April 25, 2009, participants in 100 cities around the world will abduct themselves in honor of the LRA’s child soldiers. Supporters will circle themselves in a family photo and leave the photo at the abduction site to symbolize their capture. They’ll march 1-3 miles, linked by a rope, to the “LRA camp” where they’ll stay overnight.  Read More »

America claims to be this powerful, compassionate country. We try to be the heroes, helping out the underdog. But what about Africa?  Read More »
