For over 20 years, Joseph Kony has abducted, tortured and murdered thousands of children. InvisibleChildren is a non-profit organization committed to end Africa’s longest running war. IC’s mission is to arrest Kony and free the child soldiers.
Being part of InvisibleChildren for the past 8 months has forever changed the way I interpret life, and it could do the same to you. Together, we have the power to change the world!
Here are two of my most memorable experiences:
- The Rescue: On April, 2009, thousands of people across the world slept out on the streets until the media and a mogul showed up at the site. Our goal was to raise awareness; we even made it to the Oprah Show!
- How it Ends: On June 2009, I had the honor and priviledge to attend the biggest U.S lobbying day ever for Africa in history. I flew to Washington D.C and slept on the floor of a church with over 400 people for three nights. We had to share bathrooms; there were no showers or privacy! Over 2,000 people from all over the world attended the event. We went to the Congress and each person met with their State’s senators and representatives in hopes of getting their support to pass the Bill to President Obama, for it is needed in order to apprehend Joseph Kony.
Raise Awareness! Let's help the invisible become VISIBLE!!!
