Of course we all know about the war in Iraq, it is effecting all of us as we know it. But do you know about the war in Uganda, Africa? Most of the soldiers are kids, ranging from 7-18. They are kidnapped, tortured brutally, and sometimes killed for no reason. They are forced to kill their own people, probably family and friends as well. People leave their homes and villages to sleep in big buildings where a lot of people stay so they can be safe. The rooms are packed with people, every inch of the floor is occupied. These people are scared to death of this army, The Resistance Army. I don't know if you've ever been to Africa (I haven't yet, but I will in the near future) but the kids are so full of hope even though they have nothing, they are grateful for the one outfit they own, maybe one orange a week. They will walk up to you and grab your hand, play with you even though they don't know you at all. They've been calling for our help for many, MANY years and we say we see their suffering, but what have we done to help? One voice will not help. We must speak as a nation, a united nation. We must stand up for those too weak, show that there is hope left because with the help of the Lord, ANYTHING is possible!! Discover the unseen-Invisible Children. What are you going to do about it??
click here to visit the site. There you can purchase shirts, bracelets (which I and many of my friends have), and a documentary about 3 college guys' trip to Africa. All this will go to helping the people of Uganda and ultimatley help to stop this war!!!
May God bless those of you big enough to make a difference and may He be with those in dire need of love and hope all around the world. My prayers are with you...you're in my thoughts.
