Invisible Children

What would it be like if there was a civil war in your country for over 20 years?
What would it be like if children between 8 and 14 years old were abducted and conscripted to fight that war?
What would it be like if your children were so afraid of being abducted, that they no longer felt safe at night… in your own home?
What would it be like in a nation where the children travel miles by foot, every night, to the city, to sleep where they feel safe?
What if no one outside of your country knew about it, or even seemed to care?
It would be awful.
It IS awful, and it's happening right now in Northern Uganda.
There is a Civil war going on in Northern Uganda and it has been going on for over twenty years.
The Lord's Resistance Army, or L.R.A. is a religious army which has perverted the ideas of God and the Holy Spirit and has been waging a war in Northern Uganda.
The L.R.A. led by a man named Joeseph Kony, kidnaps children to continue his mad war and literally forces them to fight a war against their friends, family and other loved ones.
To Escape the L.R.A. thousands of children sleep together, packed together with each person having just enough room for their body, if they are lucky.
Now all the children ask for is for the war to end.
Three Young men went to Uganda to see the story they had heard about and to capture it on film. What they recorded is a heart wrenching story.
They brought back their video and started a movement called "Invisible Children", an organization whose purpose is to raise awareness and end the war in Uganda.
They are not content with allowing such atrocities to continue.
They are not stopping until something changes in Uganda and the Children are no longer Invisible.
