Some news

I promise I will start the blogging I need to do when I get home from school tonight!

In the meantime, if you care about the general area in which I want to spend my life working, or what's happened to 30,000 children in Uganda (hopefully xenophobia didn't just put up a brick wall in your heart when I said that word), then I hope you will take 29 minutes out of your day to watch this video.   It's an organization that I've helped bring to campus for two years, and I'm in the process of applying for a really competitive summer internship position at their headquarters in San Diego.

This video is the most informative and concise one they've put together yet.  The second half, it'll tell you what you need to do to help.  I hope that at the very least you will send this video to those you know and love, because I know that after you watch it you'll have at least a tiny place in your heart for these children.

So please, click this link, and watch the video.  (and then share it).  If the link is broken, the url is as follows-  http://vimeo.com/37119711

this is just a photo, don't try to click on it
If I STILL haven't convinced you, maybe some celebrities will.  Here are a couple people who have watched and tweeted about this in the last 12 hours:
Perez Hilton
Jeremy Cowart
Zooey Deschanel
Rihanna
And currently "trending" on twitter (the things the most people are mentioning in tweets):
- stop kony
- invisible children
- cover the night
- uganda
- action kit
- LRA

Everyone else is doing it; go watch!
