Invisible Children

On Thursday, April 17th, 2008, four speakers came to St. Mary's High School to spread the news of what is going on with the civil war in northern Uganda and to inspire our generation to help. They brought along with them a film of a young boy named Sunday. Sunday is living in one of the huts in a confined camp. He is a smart young boy who is dedicated to having a better life for himself and those around him. At age fifteen, Sunday is alone. He has no family. He goes to school and wants to be a doctor so that he can help cure the diseases that have killed his loved ones and those around him. In the film, Invisible Children, you see the daily struggles people have to go through just to get through a day. It really makes you stop and thank God for all that you have and to think how someone could be so strong. The four speakers that came to talk about it inspired teens to do something about it. One speaker quoted: "If the greatest generation sacrificed for war, what will our generation be known for if we sacrifice FOR PEACE?" They also inspired us to get involved and to write letters to our congress so that by putting pressure on them they may put pressure on other countries to help those suffering in Northern Uganda.
