You run one fantastic campaign! I just added your widget to my blog. I'll be going to Uganda this summer with the Invisible Children Teacher Exchange program. IC is a great organization that does a tremendous job getting the word out about the plight of those individuals in Northern Ugnada who have been affected by the civil war. The peace process has come a long way in the last several months, and it is great to see that the ONE Campaign has taken note of and promoted their great efforts! Keep up the fantastic work! Hey!

She is honestly one of the most talented people i know, and i am so glad she was able to tell her story of lobby days. Most the time you see Mariana, she is behind the lens, but when she does speak up, she has more knowledge and insight on this situation than anyone i know. She, more than anyone, has really made her voice heard for those thousands of miles away, both in her action on capital hill as well as through her films that thousands have seen! Lobby days were incredible, and it is amazing to see this generation so involved. It was clear that our voices are louder than we think, and our impact is reaching father than our classrooms and communities! This generation will change the world, i believe that!

Mariana wrote a great summary of what it was like to offer our voices to the Ugandans that need it. It was fantastic to see how great America is, that we have a system where we can approach our government and ask for help (and not get punished for it). Here's to sustainable peace in Uganda (and in all the world where true injustice exists). -Sam Neylan GREAT article…I was there representing Valencia High School from California.
