Exciting

So last night Invisible Children came to Concordia to do a screening of their new short film, rescue. (if you do not know what Invisible Children is www.invisiblechildren.com check it out.) I really love what this organization is about and all the things they are doing for children in Uganda. 

Anyways, the film is about a new event they are doing called Rescue. At this even people will be "abducting" themselves and waiting for a rescue. We will be spending the night somewhere in Orange County (many other cities are doing this also) and there we will be writing letter to politicians and trying to rally all the help we can get. The purpose of this is to rescue the children in Northern Uganda that have been abducted and forced into the LRA to become child soldiers. 

I am very excited to get involved and help this organization. My friend Kaala and I are planning to have a benefit concert for IC next fall. We hope to make this a big as we can possibly make it. We are really excited to see what we can make happen with this. I am just really excited to get involved and I hope to find some more ways in the future. Possibly become a roadie.
