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 »

Lets write till the end, till all the ink runs dry
I'll be the pen and you be the paper,
the needle and the thread, what I sow, you reap and glow

Let you be the cup and I'll pour you the drink
It's wine of life and love, let me tell you,
it might be the end...

...But we'll begin again, and renew these vow
lets not be alone till the end of this world's time  Read More »

Well I’ve been one of the guys for almost my whole life. All I know is that it really sucks. Every one of my guy friends and even the guys in my family think of me as a cousin or they're really good sister. Maybe I do act a little like a dude. There was one guy who thought of me as more but we're not together anymore and since then I've clenched the sister spot.  Read More »

I was collapsed in that hard hospital chair, my head in my hands. Tears dripped to the floor as I cried until there was nothing left. Hours waiting, hours that dragged on until the clock seemed broken, ending in seconds that managed to seem even longer.  Read More »
