Young Writers Society

25 years ago a war broke out in northern Uganda. Josef Kony, now a listed terrorist, began a war on the Ugandan Government. His army? Children, between the ages of (approx.) 8-16, brainwashed, drugged and terrified. These children have watched as their small villages get torn apart, and their friends and families killed. Then they are taken to the bush*, drugged and forced to kill or be killed. Many don't survive. This war has been faught for 25 years, but, it doesnt need to be. Invisible children is an organization dedicated to stop the spread of the LRA (josef kony's army) and help the villages, children, and families affected.

*The bush is a general term for where the soldiers are trained

If you havent already noticed, or if you dont know me, I am very passionate about this organization. I am signed up as a part of their "25" fundraiser. "25" is a fundraiser for each person signed up to raise $25, as it is the 25th year that the war has been going on, then on the 25th of April we take 25 hours of silence. I am also going to sign up to be one of their roadies when i am 18. Please look into Ivisible Children, the war in Uganda, and how you can help. If you would like to help me reach my $25 goal please click the link below:

From there if you click the logo in the top right corner it will take you to the "25" home page. Click it again and it will take you to the home page of the Invisible children website. This means so much to me, and all the people who want to stop it. Take a moment and think about it is all I ask you to do. Thank you.
