I realize that this piece talks about Kitengensa in Southern Uganda, but I would like to draw attention to the plight of the children in Northern Uganda as well. Some of you asked about how you might get involved in this war torn country. There is a group called Invisible Children that started in 2003/2004 by college students from San Diego. They made a powerful movie/documentary about the lives of children in rural village (Gulu, specifically) and could not let the suffering of the children go unrecognized. Check out there web site: http://www.invisiblechildren.com
They had their first teacher "exchange" last summer and are looking to pull a group together again this summer. They have raised millions of dollars to help schools in Northern Uganada be more safe and accessable to more children.
Please check them out!!!!!!!!
