to be honest i wasnt even intrested or even thinking about the problems that are going on in Uganda and genocide in Darfur, Sudan, until i went to my school`s free movie night by our peace and social justice club, they were showing “invisible children”. I was opened to seeing whats really going on in africa, about the rebels, about the children that cant sleep at night because their afriad they will be abducted and turned into killing machines by the rebels. It made me sick that the U.S is doing more about the oil problems then helping the suffering children in Uganda, the children that want a education, the ones that are starving, and the ones that are being forced to kill more. its terrible. i think what you guys are doing is more important than anything right now. You are my idols cuz i see wut you guys are doing and i hope i can make that much of a differents one day. watching that movie made me think soo much . like i never get this emoitonal about anything, but seeing how those children live it really got to me. if there is anything i can do besides help with the money and tell others about the stuff going on , please inform me.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:29 am
I need to know how I, a teenager, can help this problem.
November 8th, 2007 at 7:20 am
I’ve seen many stories of children in Africa. One of the things that stands out to me the most is all of the hope that the children have. They have many hardships that most of us will never understand, but I always see smiles. I live in America and I hardly ever see smiles.
November 15th, 2007 at 6:49 am
You guys,
This unfair World needs you more than Politics..you are the truth examples of Revolutionaries.
I watched the movie and felt i haven’t as a Ugandan done enough.Thank you for challenging the World, thank you for valuing life regardless of color and continent.History will judge you honorably even when your long gone.
God Bless you

hi my name is jessica runnels.
i live in newton iowa.
when i first saw the music video from fall out boy that had the address for this website, i couldnt stop thinking about it. it got my attention everytime i watched it. its hard to beleive on whats happening outside of my own home. sometimes when i think about it, its kind of scary.
this website is wonderful. it gives an edgy, cool way to get the message out that there are people that are people in this world who need our help.
i hope that when people watch that video from fall out boy showing this website address, they will stop by here and think about ways to help.
im trying to get my mom to buy me a shirt, or a hoddie, so that i can show people at my school that we should be doing more to help our fellow man out.
anyway i love what this website is doing for people, and hopefully i can open some other peoples eyes to whats around them.
im always here to help.
may god bless each and every one of you.

Thanks for keeping this submerged crisis in your active folder. I went to Gulu on 2003 and from the news blackout have concluded indifference is humanity’s greatest crime. I am an art student at Winchester School of Art, part of Southampton University. I am spending my final year trying to raise awareness of this solvable situation. Currently I have pitched a pink tent outside the school and am posting your website and others engaged with the answer.I have photos if there is a way of getting them to you

Hi everyone!
This is such a great idea having a blog like this, it’s great to hear all that you are doing!!!
I had a quick questions, (sorry i dont know if this is where I am supposed to post it)
Ok well I am working on some research about the Internally Displaced Peoples camps. I am trying to focus on Awere and Koyro ( as those are the ones we got to visit on the trip this summer). I have a decent understanding of the history and the situation, but I was wondering what you guys thought would be the best way to encourage the migration back home. It seems somewhat clear that people are not going to begin the move back home until their safety is ensured, but what do you guys see as the best way to really begin this development process?
thank you soo much for your time and all that you have shared! It is great to hear that you are all doing well! Oh and congratulations on the Volleyball
thankss

Hi Guys,
I just saw your video about 50 minutes ago and I just thought that it was really great. Incredibly haunting, but you accomplished your goal and so much more. I look upon you so highly for doing this. Thank you. I hope that I will be able to help the world as much as you are working to, and you have.
So thank you.

Hello All!
I recently saw the IC video in one of my classes and now I am excited to find out more from this site! I was also wondering if anyone knew any contact information for Tim Shortley (the guy the US sent to Uganda). My class is going to send letters of thanks to him and others so it would be great if someone could post some contact info!
Thanks and GOD BLESS!

I think it would be a great idea to further the online store because at our school were thinking about holding a 40 hour fast and we wanted to sell merchandise so more shirts and stuff would be nice. i really like the picture of africa on parts of the site that has the heart on the spot were Uganda is so maybe put that on a shirt, i was also wondering when the new braclets were going to be avaliable?

February 5th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
when i first saw the music video of fall out boy, i get amazed on how this band uses their popularity to help children, before i just admire their songs but now, i admire everything about them…. at the age of 22 and still studying here in the Philippines i really don’t know how would i help less fortunate children, but through this i think even without financial aspects i can help through my prayers…. im really thankful specially to those people who take effort and time to make this website possible, also to those who are helping those “invicible children”. also through this my complaints in life will be lessen because now i see that there are many children who are in need than i do….. i will make a promise after i graduated and find a nice job, i will help children, and i will share to them the blessings i receive everyday….
February 20th, 2008 at 6:31 am
wow! we are finally taking a stand for someone besides ourselves . i feel proud to know that we as a whole are coming together to heal a nation that has seen so much devastation. not only are we healing the nation but we’re healing and helping provide for it’s future.

This is truly amazing what you guys are doing. I have a really close friend that is going out to Rowanda this summer with her church group to help others and bring them close to God. I truly can not wait to one day go out and personally help those in need. =D

Tonight I saw your film INVISIBLE CHILDREN and was very moved by it. I saw it at our local North High School in Waukesha Wisconsin. This work and effort is having such a positive effect on the souls of OUR CHILDREN and I thank you for your beautiful dedication and work. I am gladly amazed to see the young people throughout America becoming so ‘fired up’ over JUSTICE as their hearts reach out to these children with their love on such a REAL level……..Love, Angel
March 4th, 2008 at 6:52 am
this is lol matirial . im happy you are helping with schools.
March 5th, 2008 at 7:28 am
I think this is so terrible. The fact that we aren’t doing anything is bad. we have it so good here and all we do is complain about the things we don’t have. People need to get over themselves and do something useful that isn’t all about themselves.
March 5th, 2008 at 7:35 am
another comment guys,
Rebecca Hotchkiss what is great about this
this is terrible. we need to do something helpful.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
hey guys,
well i just wanted to say what a great job u r doing.
all of u are truley appreciated.
ever since i saw the film me and others in my school are getting involved.

lets just say this is probably one of the most inspiring films ever, and movement i have ever come across…..therefore i have decided to write my college thesis paper on it. I attend Niagara University way out in the freezing NIagara Falls NY area…. I was wondering if whoever reads this could help me out with any information possible…anyone who actually knows someone i could interview or a way to set that up, just basic facts, or anything at all would be helpful..please email me at jrivera@mail.niagara.edu your help will be very appreciated im hoping to maybe be able to get my paper published, or in a magazine of some sort jsut to help spread the word of whats happening somewhere other than the U.S….. keep it up guys good work..stay strong for the Invisible Children-

Broken Dreams
I am-a human being fighting for a dream to solve conflict in Uganda,
I wonder-if I will ever see your face again,
I hear-the pleading cry of a village women as the Ruf’s take away her only son,
I see-yet another innocent family fall, robbed of all their dreams,
I want-you to listen the hushed sounds of the night commuters walk,
I am-a human being fighting for a dream to solve conflict in Uganda.
I pretend-that reality is fantasy, hoping and praying for the solution,
I feel-your warm skin, and grasp close to the beauty beyond your chest,
I touch-your soft cheeks with my palms drying your tears,
I worry-they will hear your cry and take you away again, I just want to be home again,
I cry-to know that another soul has been destroyed, making it hard to sleep with goals in mind to make it to sunrise,
I am-a human being fighting for a dream to solve conflict in Uganda.
I understand-why the people are terrified, hate has taken control of Africa,
I scream-your name at the top of my lungs, wanting you to come back,
I dream-that one day the blood will dry, the wounds will heal and the AK-47 will be laid to rest,
I try-my hardest to go on but you are in my head, I want to fight your war,
I hope-to see your Chocolate brown eyes again staring into mine, they look as the they are holding back the future,
I am-a human being fighting for a dream to solve conflict in Uganda.
March 20th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I think that this is a good thing to do. Four people just came to my school to tell us and show us a video on what is happneing in Uganda. It open my eyes to what is happening all around the world. And as i watched the movie i thought that if everyone just opened their eyes to see this is might change the children and adults in Uganda. And that it doesnt matter if your the only person doing it its just that you know you are doin sumthing for the right cause. We need peace in this world no matter where its from.
March 30th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Invisible children is so great. i am inspired to start a club! Today a lady came to r church and showed us a video on a boy named sunday and how he lives in a hut in uganda! This has opend my eyes to see how as americans we r so lucky to live in a place where we r not forced to the army or live in a place where u r starved and there is not medical near by. This showed me that the world can make a diffrence if we all come together! invisible children is amazing and the world needs to c what is happening!
thank you,

This is so awesome!!! I didn’t even know this was going on until I saw this! It seems so weird because we live SOO differently. I want to help. I am for sure going to buy a bracelet AND a T-shirt!!!!

Everyone, please visit http://youtube.com/watch?v=aT434G38OBg to watch a video that shows just how awful this is. I cant believe so amny children are being forced to fight in the war.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Today i saw the video in chapel at my school and it is really the first thing that has touched me so much. It’s really the first thing i feel i really should try and be a part of and help. I bought a bracelet right away and am really trying to find a way to help. i’m still in high school…of corse and a jounor soon to be senior.
how can i help?

April 15th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I just ran across this site and its awesome to see that there are still some people out there who care about humanity. In this day and age, its hard to believe that there are people out there that are hurting children as I type this in the comfort of my home. Children shouldn’t have to worry about being hurt, if they’re gonna eat, is there medicine to cure them, etc. God bless all those involved with Invisible Children, ONE Organization, Amnesty International, and all those who are trying to make this world a better place to live in.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Our teacher showed the film in class the past two days and it brought all these children suffering to my heart. I was wondering what it would take to raise money and I’d like to plan a trip with a few friends and make a similar documentary too get the word spread…
any ideas?
April 16th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
well i went to a church camp and they sent me the
rough cut dvd and it inspired me so much. I decided
to have a yard sale and all the money raised would go toward
the invisible children. I havent done it yet im goin to some time in
june, but i have alredy got so many donations of items from
people so i will hopefully really be good.
you guys really show people that they can
make a difference and they can help.
what you guys are doin is so amazing you really know
how to get people involved! I think its great.
April 26th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Jessie…
Thanks for the info. By the way, I am a big fan of your site. Keep up the great work….
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Hey, I was really excited when you started posting about the music you used in the videos, but then am now disappointed that there aren’t anymore updates with that. What about all the other videos?
I would love to know what music you used in Black Is For Sunday
May 6th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I’m truly amazed how people can still be so kind in such world. I was an exchange student at Weber High (Utah) , I’m from Brazil, and my school raised some money to help Invisible Children. It has been almost 10 months since I got back home and I still keep saving money so I can help on whatever I can. Thank you so much for giving so much love to those who needs it. I wish I could do more for them but here in Brazil we have are own battle to fight. Keep it up! You are all in my prayers.
May 9th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Heyy (: First off I would like to thank you for all the awareness you guys brought to the world about the war in uganda with this awesome organization. (:
Anyway, I wanted to post that my class(grade
brought attention to the families in our school about IC. We did a presentation during the talent show at our school… it wasnt something HUGE where a lot of people knew about it. There were only about 80 people that actually came, but I’m proud of that b/c i mean, we are only in middle school. Although there are a lot of concerts in my city for IC, which is great… I really thought that my school should do something.
But as I was saying, my 8th grade class saw the video of the guys going to Africa and afterwards we decided to do something too… So, all 28 of us bought the 10$ Invisible Children shirts to wear during the school day and during the talent show. Several of the kids in my class bought bracelets and extra shirts. Since a certain number of people bought bracelets, we thought that we could introduce the audience to some of the actual children. We did Innocent, Sunday, Grace, and Emmy. At the end of each childs story we asked for peoplet to visit http://www.invisiblechildren.com and of course to DONATE!!! Along with their stories, we introduced what was happening in Uganda, with the war, abductions, starvation, and so much more. We also put together a slide show of pictures that you guys took when you went over. At the end of the talent show, we explained why its so important to get aide to Africa- saying that here in America, we have so much help we could get just from around the corner… like hospitals, police departments, soup kitchen… which there is almost none of, if any, in Africa.
At first when I saw that there were only about 80 people at the talent show, I thought we arent going to raise a lot of money or we might not even grab anyone’s attention. But I was completely wrong. For the 80 so people that were there, we raised $420.46!!!!! Now, that might not compare to some of the concerts that people throw around the world, but remember, we are a school of about 300 kids.. so its not like we have a gigantic community. Although I am EXTREMELY happy that we spread the word about the IC and that we raised that much money in 2 hrs. Am I wrong for being so dang happy about that?!?! (: (: (:
Even if the people that listened to the stories my class told, forget or dont anything about it (which I pray to God they won’t!!)… I know for sure that you still have about 28 kids that are extremely passionate about making a difference in Uganda and helping all those kids.
So look out for that $420 check!!!!!!
Also add all the money we spent on the t-shirts and bracelets(i think around $300 or something?)
Again, THANK YOU so much for opening my eyes and thousands others to whats really happening in Africa.
Bye (:
May 9th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
that was supposed to say grade 8 in the 2nd sentence…
May 12th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
This story is so said and so inspiring. seeing it at school really opened my eyes and made me want to help. This is breath taking reality. Thank you for opening our eyes.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
i love invisible children!! i want to get stuff from the store but i am nervous about putting my credit card online so i was wondering if there is a number i could call to order stuff? and i think ya’ll should do another displace me and do it in Houston because it is such a beautiful thing and we want to be part of that movement!
May 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
This website is really inspiring to me and hope that it inspires everyone else!!!!
May 21st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
this is one of the greatest things that i have seen ever.
i fully support it and i am going to buy the Roseline bracelet and tell everyone at my school and town about it when they comment on it!
keep it up! you guys rock!
June 13th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Hey Guys,
I coordinated the world vision 40 hour famine at my school for a few years and learnt about child soldiers on their leadership camps. Isn’t it incredible how sheltered the world can be and how the media does shield us from learning the truth. Or is it that we can not understand something so foreign to us? I worked in an orphanage last year in Nepal and although I knew alot compared to most of my friends about third world conditions, nothing could prepare me for what I experienced.
The documentary is fantastic and I am emailing my friends with the link. It’s awesome that you guys had the guts to get out and do something on such a huge scale!
Oh and if you’re wondering how far you’re reaching, I’m an Australian living in Ireland so word is getting out!

I am so happy that more and more young people are becoming aware of the poerty that has scarred millions of people’s lives all over the world. And a step in that direction is realizing that since we live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we have the money and resources to make the change. It is now time for our generation to stand up and take responsiblity for the world we live in. As citizens of one of the wealthiest countries, we have to demand more from our goverment. WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF OUR GOVERMENT! We, the people, created it, so in turn, we have the power to change and mold it into the type of goverment we want and need. Past generations have stood their ground and demanded more from their goverment, and although it was not always easy, we are here today because of thier courage and stregnth. We can not expect a change to happen while we play video games, watch TV and simply go about our day. We can not pass this burden on to someone else, we can not live in fear; the oil conspiracy, the corporatocracy, the poverty, hunger and violence have become too big. We are not powerless but powerful. It has all been created by us humans, and it can only be changed by us. Get up, make the change you want to see in this world!
–PS. Has the Invisible Children organization done anything in San Francisco? I live up here and the young adults are educated and ready to stand up!

I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door - or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present….
July 1st, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I just showed my two little sisters that are 11 and 8 years old, the videos ya’ll have got posted on the invisiblechildren website… it was basically the most they’ve ever seen of any of this stuff. I just wanna say that it is so inspirational to see that God is still giving miracles. YOU guys are these childrens miracles… it’s so sickening how you see all these milliionairs out there taunting around, and showing off their money… all I can think is… man if only if only… I am 15 years old… I don’t have a job right now, but about a year and a half ago, my older sister and I bought Innocent’s video and bracelet. It felt so wonderful to know that our money went to something so supportive, and that it was needed. I hope and pray for this war to be over ASAP! I believe though, that God will shine through with us on this one. Everything happens for a reason, maybe He is using this to bring everyone together. Ya know??… iight well I’ll be in touch, and keep praying for this orginization!!
love always, kandice
July 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 am
Hey, it’s me again ya’ll…. Last night I could barely even sleep… And this morning all I could think of, when I was getting my breakfast, was how bad the children in Africa must want this food. I felt so terrible… I wish there could be more I as a 15 year old could do….ya know? Yet, last night I figured something out. A few years ago my older cousin introduced me to invisiblechildren. At that time, I was so so so excited to grow up, so I could be one of the people to get to help everyone. But I have dreams…and I remember what my plan was. It is to play basketball, get to play college basketball, and then join the WNBA. Also, I want to get my doctors degree. This way, I can be rich, and donate my money to important places, such as this orginization, as well as others. But also I’ve noticed all the diseases everyone has… I hope that if I can become a Doctor, than I can go there, and help save the kids… ya know? I used to think…I can do this, but maybe it won’t really happen. But last night, God reminded me WHY I love basketball so much!!! And it felt so so good. So, what I am trying to say is, I am going to help in as many ways as I can!!!!!!!!!! And one day, I’ll be able to say: HERE I COME!! I pray that I’m not wrong, that I really have found my calling in life.
I’m doing this for Jesus, so I can help His children!
love kandice!
July 24th, 2008 at 9:05 am
I just moved to a new town and am trying to get involved and inspire people to help eachother out. I lived in Cocoa Beach, Florida for 8 years and was very invloved in the community and with local organizations, but now I am stiving to achieve more in the world and to spread the word with a louder voice. The only problem is I dont know where to begin. If ya’ll could give me any advice on where to start? How to speak up, that would be fantastic.
God bless!
