god i love these so much.

My friend and I have been having a fight over highland cows for 2.5 years.

She showed me a picture, it was obviously a yak, she kept calling it a highland cow.

It doesn’t really matter. I laugh my ass off either way.

After we read “Night” in English, we were assigned a service/”impact project”.

Julia had seen the Invisible Children and really wanted us to do it… we were all on board after we saw just the trailer for the movie.

Can a story change the world? In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them. A story where children are the weapons and the victims. The “Invisible Children: Rough Cut” film exposes the effects of a 20-year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda. Children who live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers, and are being forced to fight as part of a violent army. See this film, you will be forever changed.

We showed power points and videos to our English classes, sold their bracelets and t-shirts, started a “schools for schools” chapter at our high school, and it’s been… awesome. We watched all of the videos beforehand, there was a lot of crying involved, it was amazing.

“What’s our goal? To depress them?”
“It’s called raising awareness!”

I don’t want it to sound like I’m seeking praise or being a prosleytizing ass hole, but when you have time, check their videos out. Get involved. At the very least, buy a bracelet. (Side note, they’re really fun to play with.)

Watch it. You won’t regret it.
