Students react and give to “Invisible Children” cause

In 2003, the tragic stories of these child soldiers were brought to the forefront by three young American filmmakers. Their documentary, Invisible Children: Rough Cut, began a conversation about the situation in Uganda that has grown into a youth-driven political movement. On October 25, that movement is coming to Wright State University.

The six largest student organizations at Wright State University collaborated in organizing the biggest Invisible Children event in university history.

Student Government, the University Activities Board, the Greek Affairs Council, the Black Student Union, Rainbow Alliance, and the Residential Community Association collected over $1800 for Invisible Children, a non-profit organization seeking to end the longest running war in African history throughout Uganda and the northern Congo.

An October 25 showing of the organization’s latest film The Rescue and presentation by Invisible Children to over 300 students, in addition to a month-long fund-raising drive, raised the donation.
