SoCal teen Cambria Detken is using her voice to make a difference. After watching the Invisible Children documentary at Sage High School in Newport, Cambria knew that her upcoming record release concert and party had to help the children in northern Uganda in a big way.
This Saturday, Gulu Walk is hosting an event in more than 80 cities worldwide. Go out and support peace in northern Uganda by walking throughout your city - raise awareness and burn off some of that pre-Halloween candy. You can sign up online through tomorrow night; otherwise, just show up at a location near you.
It’s important to not only keep sharing the story of northern Uganda, but also staying up on the current situation. Check out the latest Peace & Conflict update to get educated.
Our bracelets are so fashionable, so posh. Late last week they were the top thing to wear over at Daily Candy. An insanely huge blog about fashion and livin’ the good life, the What to Do This Weekend newsletter goes out to over 400K people while the site is seen by millions.
Their description of the bracelets - “Each dainty wire cuff, handmade in Uganda, contains the story of a child affected by war” - makes us wonder if we should change the name of the Bracelet Campaign to Dainty Wire Cuff Campaign so it can appeal to more fashionistas out there.
Team New England went to Attleboro High School in Massachusetts a few weeks ago, and the students in Ms. Adeline Bee’s Journalism and Writing and Publishing classes wrote some great poems to express what’s going on in northern Uganda. They’re a great example of getting creative to spread the word.
This spring is huge.
International, even.
And…(gosh, this is the first time it’s been announced)…it’ll include a big, big, BIG event.
**Gasp!**
So we need your help. We need roadies - the ever-loving, always-willing crew that actually make Invisible Children what it is.
Apply by October 17th. Go here to learn more and download the application.
Apply, make a video about yourself, and then go out and buy a pair of roadie briefs (thanks SoCal for the awesome link). This tour you’re gonna need them.
