Hey everyone, I know I ask you to vote for a lot of silly things, but this contest is really important! A few guys from my High School have devoted their entire lives to a charity called The Invisible Children.  They are in a contest with Chase Bank and if they win, Chase will give 1Million to their cause. They need ongoing funding and support to keep their amazing results alive. I’ve seen these guys work sooo hard for years and years to put this charity on the map, and I know it would mean the world to them and the children they help, if you could take 30 seconds to vote for them. By helping them, you really are helping thousands of children.

Please take 30 seconds to help them become one step closer to the 1 Million they need and deserve. The contest ends Friday at 9pm so please hurry! Currently they are in first, but we have to keep them there.

In the spring of 2003, three young filmmakers traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these boys from Southern California discovered the untold tragedy of Uganda. This tragedy revolves around Africa’s longest running war, where children have become the victims and the weapons. Rebel armies, known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), have been abducting children and using them as troops while they wage war against the Ugandan government. This originally caused the children to night commute, or walk miles nightly to avoid these troops. It is estimated that 90% of the LRA is abducted children. The film tells their story.

After returning to the States, they created the documentary “Invisible Children: Rough Cut”, a film that exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda’s night commuters and child soldiers.

Because of this film and fight, night commuting has ended for the children of Northern Uganda. Also, the United States and other allies set up several Juba Peace Talks. From June 2006 to March 2008 in Juba, Sudan, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda (GoU) engaged in a series of peace talks in order to end the conflict. These peace talks provided the longest period of peace in northern Uganda’s 23-year war. These talks ended with the Final Peace Agreement (FPA), but Joseph Kony, leader of the LRA, failed twice to appear and sign it. Due to this, the peace talks have ended and the LRA has become active in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and southern Sudan. On a positive note, an estimated 900,000 of the 1.8 million displace have been able to return home in the past two years. Many of the one million remaining wish to return home, but their former residences may no longer have access to clean water, economic opportunities, health centers, or education opportunities.

They need ongoing funding and support to keep their amazing results alive. I’ve seen these guys work sooo hard for years and years to put this charity on the map, and I know it would mean the world to them and the children they help if you could take 30 seconds to vote for them. By helping them, you really are helping thousands of children.
