Help End a War! Do It!

(click the photo to learn more)

My sister Mercy works for an amazing organization called Invisible Children. Their mission statement?

Invisible Children uses film, creativity and and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony's rebel war and restore LRA-affected communities in Central Africa to peace and prosperity.

This war between the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda is the longest running war in Africa and has been going on for 25 years. This means there are generations of young children who have never known peace. One of the most horrible side effects of this war is the army of child soldiers that have been created by Joseph Kony. Kidnapping children in the middle of the night, he then forces then to kill their families and civilians, and robs them of their freedom and humanity.

So my sister is currently raising donations for the 25 event. For 25 hours, Mercy and her colleagues will remain silent in protest against this 25 year war. At the end of it all there will be a massive party, obvi. So please help out! Any donation you can make is so so helpful and so so so important. It literally takes a few minutes.
