Now for something serious and important, so pay attention!
After seeing this video at Passion 2006 and with Lyndsey inviting them to our local college campus to show the video, I've got a soft spot in my heart for these kids in Uganda.
The story is one that we in America continue to ignore, because it's on the other side of the world. It doesn't affect our daily lives and we are happy and content here sheltered from the truths of some parts of our world.
“It’s a moral outrage to see thousands of children that have been
abducted, that have been maltreated. They are going through the most
horrendous torture by the rebel movement and that same group is now
being neglected by the whole international community,” said Jan
Egeland, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian
Affairs. “I cannot find any other part of the world having an emergency
on the scale of Uganda with so little international attention.”

Now… do whatever it takes to watch the full movie or the one that is slated for box office release soon. Purchase the DVD, a bracelet, or something else from the Invisible Children Web Site. Do something, don't sit idle any more.
If you have no other options, the full movie is available by Clicking Here. (Keep in mind that the quality and aspect ratio isn't perfect, so a better option is to buy the DVD)

Man, that is so sad. Reminds me of the movie “Hotel Rwanda”. The problem is so overwhelming sometimes that it's hard to know what to do. Thanks for sharing this.
