WHAT IS INVINSIBLE CHILDREN?

In less than a week, words have spread across the world regarding this blog and support has been positive so far. Despite all that, we got some people who are quite skeptical about what we do here. Some people have never even heard the non-profit organization we are trying to support. To be honest, we never heard of this organization before until a few weeks ago...through some social networking sites.

We checked out the website www.invisiblechildren.com and what we found was shocking! This is the reason why we are trying to help out the best way we can....through a blog. It may sound small but the impact might be HUGE! We may not be able to raise money with this blog, but we will definitely raise awareness regarding whats going on in Uganda. So far we managed to get 3000 minutes of education for these war-torn kids. Thank you to all those people who spent a minute to help out with Socialvibe! This is really exciting stuff. Keep it coming =)

Some facts about INVISIBLE CHILDREN:

1. Started off by 3 young filmmakers who went to Uganda to film some adventure documentaries but they saw tragedies where CHILDREN were used as weapons of war!

2. They released the raw film called "Invisible Children: Rough Cut" and it has been watched by millions! (They were in Oprah Winfrey Show this year)

3. The children are paid $3 PER WEEK to go to war!

3. They are now trying to get 250,000 petitions to persuade President Obama to arrest Joseph Kony by the 25th December 2009. (They got 78,125 signatures since April 2009)

Now you know some stuff about Invisible Children. Go to www.invisiblechildren.com for more info about the unseen war in Uganda and the child soldiers. We bought 6 T-shirts from the website and they have really cool stuff there and all the revenues will go straight to helping the kids.

Cheers people!

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"I didn't raise my son to be a soldier, I brought him up to be my pride and joy. Who dares to put a rifle in his hands to kill some other mother's boy..."
