DISPLACE ME


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting





i'm assuming most of you have had the opportunity to see the film, "Invisible Children" in the last year...if you haven't, please, please, PLEASE, check it out!

Last night one of the groups on the Invisible Children World Tour 2007 (Thirteen black vans, filled with teams of four, are driving an uprising across America for the next three and a half months. More than 1,300 high schools, universities, religious institutions, and other venues will see the “Invisible Children: Rough Cut” documentary and learn about the situation in Northern Uganda.) came and spoke to a group of us in Seattle and I decided to get more involved. (last year I was not able to attend the "global night commute" & I was quite sad) I went to a meeting tonight for volunteers for the upcoming, "Displace Me" and will be helping out for the event.

For more information on both Invisible Children and Displace Me your best bet is to visit their webiste(s) and not listen to me prattle on and on.....

I am super excited to be a part of this! I hope that wherever you are, you can find a way to be a part of it as well! It's not every day you can actually be a vital piece to seeing a war end. This war has been going on for 21 years now....it's time something changed.
