| Civic Education Convocation: "Invisible Children" |
Every night thousands of Ugandan children walk miles into the closest town to have a safe place to sleep. They cannot stay at home for fear of being abducted and forced to fight as child soldiers. Come watch the video that's been moving people to act across the country, and learn what you can do to draw attention to these invisible children.
The Bonner Scholars Program will be hosting a Civic Education Convocation which will feature a rough cut of the documentary “Invisible Children” and will be held in the UB Ballroom on Thursday, September 14 at 7pm.
“Invisible Children” is an amateur documentary that captures the results of a 20 year war where children are the weapons and the victims. In Northern Uganda children are abducted and forced to fight with the rebel army as child soldiers. For fear of being hunted by the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army), these children commute on foot every night to find safe places to sleep in their town centers. To date, more than 30,000 children have been abducted and forced into war.
