I have been involved in a club this year called Invisible Children. Invisible Children is a club centered on raising awareness for the war that has been going on in Uganda for 23 years now. The war was started by a man named Joseph Kony who rebelled against the government and began abducting children and turning them into soldiers. Invisible Children was started by 3 guys who went to Africa on a trip and discovered what was going on and wanted to do something about it. Yesterday was our event called The Rescue of Joseph Kony's Soldiers. What we did was "Abduct" ourselves for in hope that we would be rescued. We met at the University of Utah and walked 17 blocks to the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City. When we got there we wrote letters to people in the government and waited to be rescued. In order to be rescued we had to have the media covering our story and have an important political figure come and say they were in support of our cause. We got rescued within 2 hours! The mayor of Salt Lake and Congressman Bob Bennett came.. it was awesome! It was a way fun event :) I am so glad that I can be involved in a club that is trying to make a difference in this world!
