Displace Me: The Aftermath

A recap of the Invisible Children event, Displace Me.

On April 28th, 2007 68,000 of you came to be counted. You left your homes, you left your comforts, and you displaced yourself for the displaced in Northern Uganda. Thanks to your continued commitment and compassion, long overdue peace may finally be on the horizon. Because of people like you we can say: every war has an end.

How dare you suggest that this is something we get involved with because it's TRENDY?

How about we have HEARTS? And our HEARTS ache for the children who suffer immensely overseas while we can attain almost anything we want over here. It's about coming together and rallying for a CAUSE because it makes us hurt to know children can't live without fear in Uganda.

If you'd ever had a heart big enough to come to an IC rally, you'd see that 100% of the people are there because we CARE.

I don't know who said it was a trend and I don't care to look, but when I went to this protest, EVERYONE stood in solidarity with Uganda. It was such an impactful experience, I turned in a grant proposal to go to Uganda and volunteer at an orphanage/ study the impact of Joseph Kony and the civil war on its citizens. It also inspired me to join the Peace Corps after I graduate from college. This is not a trend... it's about becoming informed and helping our brothers and sisters.

I think that if everyone of those who think this is 'trendy' or is not worth their time, hasn't been to a place called their heart. If you went to Uganda and supported these children- just knowing that you're their to help them, will bring the biggest smile on these kids' faces. If you were kidnapped at the age of 5. If you were deprived of friends, family, TRUE LIFE, then you'd smile at the slimmest bit of hope. And that's what we all hope to bring. Hope and LIVES to these unrecorded children.

What about Darfur, were is the UN with its army, I wonder how much oil there is under there land? How about doing something for them as well ?

You know, not everyone would want to waste their time trying to help people. I for one, am involved with this stuff because I care, and so do many others, not because it's trendy. Shoes and children are completly different things. Helping kids and buying shoes. DIFFERENT.

And I guarantee that about 99% of those people care because no non-caring people would waste their time doing that if they didn't care, bc if they didn't care, they'd go buy some TOMS shoes.
