Today in our staff meeting we were able to hear all about the exciting news about what is happening on the ground right now. From the 30 women and Children who have come out of the bush, the expansion of our Radio Towers, to the Rehab center being up and running. This is what I am fundraising for. If you are reading this right now then you have heard me ramble on and on about Invisible Children, my time in Uganda, and what this truly means to me. But what I have learned while being here is that if I take what raising $2 million means to me and triple it, it won't even come close to what it means for the people who are on the receiving end of it. For me it's this sense of accomplishment but for them it truly is changing better yet saving their lives. As cliche as it sounds.
I believe in the Human Connection. I believe that one story can change a persons life. I believe that through the power of the people justice can be served. I believe that $2 million can completely affect an entire region in a positive way.
I have seen proof that the programs this money is funding is working and all I am asking is that you give up that cup of coffee, or sushi dinner and donate. Not because you feel guilty for not doing but because you have faith in the power of the youth and believe that peace is reachable.
