Invisible Children
Ok guy this is a very serious post. The other night I watched a documentary. for 20 years a war has been tearing a country apart a war in the name of God. A war where children are being forced to carry guns and kill before they can even read and write. The rebels of Uganda come in the night and abduct children to fight for them, if they don't they die. Every night the children leave their homes to walk hours into the city to sleep safetly and in the morning walk back home. These are children who know nothing but war, and children who know nothing but blood. They fear for their lives everyday.
in 2003, three guys from California left to find the war and what they found was much more than a war, but they became intangled in the atrocities of everyday life against children. since their first trip they have gone back and forth and are in the process of making their 2nd documentary. Since then they have started a school for the children so they can learn and have a future and have created jobs to help these children eat and cloth. Watching this documentary has seriously changed my life. Someday I hope to be able to visit Uganda myself so I can photograph and document this. I want to help, my friend who just graduated Brooks may be going to Uganda to teach for the school started by the three guys. please jsut open your eyes and witness this, it's defiantly worth the view and the DVD is well worth the money. All the money they receive funnels back to their organization in Uganda to help these children. please visit www.invisiblechildren.com also watch the trailers http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMovie/trailers/ if you think Iraq is bad, this is far worse. yet we aren't over there trying to free a people from a cult...or better yet terrorists. I'm very serious about this, thank you for listening -tadashi |
