Invisible Children

3 young guys from California bought a video camera on EBay and decided to go to Africa in search of an interesting story. What they found was much more than that.

They found thousands of children commuting to sleep in the streets so they could avoid being abducted and forced into being soldiers.

I recently saw the movie Invisible Children. It reminded me that there is so much more out there in the world than just what I see in front of me. There are things to learn, stories to be told, and people who need our help.

Check out this powerful, heart-breaking and inspiring movie. Spread the word and do something good.
