Invisible Children Documentary


The Invisible Children Roadies will be coming to Trinity and showing one of the documentaries. They will also be talking about what is currently going on and updates in Northern Uganda and they will be bringing merchandise that you can buy, so bring some money. Invisible Children is a great cause to get involved in. Bring your family, friends, whoever to learn more about it.

If you want more information, you can go to www.invisiblechildren.com or contact either Kim Pang or Shannon Baldwin. They have the most information on Invisible Children at Trinity.

I really recommend attending this movie event.. Raising awareness is key, and the documentary is currently the best medium to shed light on the situation in Northern Uganda. By simply passing it on and educating others, you can make a difference. If you want to learn more. visit the Movement section of the Invisible Children website to learn how you can contribute to Invisible Children. As Trinity students, be sure to check out the Schools for Schools program because Trinity is doing a lot of work with this organization this year. The best thing you can do to help is start by telling others and showing the movie.

TU Invisible Children (Schools 4 Schools)


31,824 people (so far) have signed the Citizens Arrest Warrant for Joseph Kony. And 135 Members of Congress have co-sponsored the LRA Disarmament Bill.
If you follow this link (http://www.invisiblechildren.com/obama), you can sign a petition to hear Obama make a statement on the situation in northern Uganda. You can get your member of congress on board, as well.

There are a few up-and-coming ways that students at Trinity can help out with the Invisible Children movement:

1. Fairly soon, several students will be conducting a dorm storm. Volunteers will go around to each dorm and ask for donations (mostly loose change). I encourage everything to give at least something to the cause.
2. TU Invisible Children will be partnering with local businesses to hold sponsorship nights; a fraction of the profits will go to Invisible Children. (I’m not sure what dates these will occur, but I’ll let people know when I find out).
3. Also, on October 26th, Invisible Children will be coming to Trinity to show a screening of one of their documentaries. There will also be various merchandise for sale, and profits will go to the Invisible Children movement.

Any donations are appreciated, and please sign the petition. It only takes about 5 seconds, and it is for a very important cause.
