Wow has it been a long time!

I am so sorry for how long is has been since I posted anything of substance! By the end of this you will understand why.

So San Diego is going through a heat wave. It was 102 yesterday and is today is a little cooler at 99. At least I can easily dry my clothes outside! My team and I were walking through La Mesa (the area where out house is) to get to Subway for lunch and I was sweating within minutes! It's even a little humid! Other than that, the weather has been a steady 70-85 degrees. It should cool off tomorrow.

So, the question I have gotten from a lot of folks is, "How are you?" or "How's the work going?" That is a great place to start:

So the idea behind what my job description is, is to travel the country telling the story and raising awareness. This fall, we are bringing 3 things to the forefront of our screenings.

1) Have President Obama make a public statement committing the US to lead an international effort to arrest Joseph Kony before Christmas 2009, commit to signing into law the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, and commit to the recovery and rehabilitaion of the LRA affected communities in Uganda, South Sudan, Central African Republic and the DR Congo.

2) The TRI Campaign: This is how Invisible Children is able to run all of it's programs both in the States and on the ground in Uganda.

3) The Schools4Schools campaign: Partners US schools with Ugandan Schools to provide money for new buildings, sanitation, dorms and scholarships.

So we have been calling people in out region at schools, colleges, churches, community centers, film centers and businesses to set up and advertise for presentations of our films. My region is Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. (If you live here and want a screening, call me at 703-470-2288. Seriously we are trying to tell as many people as possible). It has been a challenge talking to people I have never met but it has certainly paid off. It is going to be an awesome tour!

I am going to be flying out to Uganda on the 6th of Sept for 10 days. Invisible Children tries to send 1 person from each regional team to Uganda so that there is 1 person on every team who can speak with authority about the issues there. I am so excited that my team is allowing me to go! I can't wait. I will tell you about what we are going to be doing later.

That's all the news I have for now. I will post some pictures below. Adios!

This is the new image for the fall tour! Looks awesome!
