Invisible Children's Schools for Schools Tour
8:00pm in the Union Auditorium

Join members of the Invisible Children Organization for a captivating presentation and screening of their new documentary GO! How far would you go? GO! is a documentary that captures the adventure of a group of students traveling to northern Uganda during the summer of 2007. From fundraisers in the US to the displacement camps outside Gulu, the documentary asks the simple question of how far you'd be willing to go to make a difference in the world. Followed by a visual update on the progress being made on the ground, the screening will give you the opportunity to become a part of Uganda's future.

Invisible Children is a non-profit organization that raises awareness and provides relief to war-affected regions in Northern Uganda. They aim to empower a new generation of leaders to take an active role in pursuing international peace and social justice.
