From Third Day:
Hopefully you were one of the many loyal fans who came out to see the spring leg of the Wherever You Are Tour! If you were, you probably saw the movie trailer to “Invisible Children: Rough Cut†that has inspired us to reach out to the community of Gulu, Uganda to bring aid, awareness and resolve to the conflict in which children are abducted from their homes, strapped with machine guns and machetes and forced to fight in the rebel army (LRA).
This Saturday, April 29th, over 37,000 people across the US are taking part in the Global Night Commute, a worldwide event organized by the Invisible Children, Inc. organization, that will involve the trek of thousands of men, women and children from around the world into major cities where they will mimic the nightly commute of the Ugandan children by marching en masse from one point to another and sleeping at their final destination for the entire night. The goal of the movement is to raise awareness and ultimately end Africa’s longest running conflict by facilitating a change in the policies of the US government in regard to the situation.
We hope you will join the thousands who have committed to take part in the Global Night Commute! Check out www.InvisibleChildren.com for more information and to sign up for the commute in your city!
Also, check out our new Advocacy page at ThirdDay.com that tells about World Vision, Blood:Water Mission, Hands In Service, The ONE Campaign and several other organizations who are hard at work to serve the poor, the orphans and the widows in Uganda and other parts of Africa.
