The Situation

7/29/09
A recent leader of Invisible Children on campus at TCU was able to give us an email interview and she revealed some helpful information.

Being involved with Invisible Children for three years now, she has come to see both the struggles and the benefits. She told us, “Our biggest struggle has been the general un-interest in the student body about this situation.” She admits that most college students are very busy with school and are too “self-seeking.” She goes on to say “This kind of self-seeking attitude hinders our student body from looking out into the world.”

She also said, that as a group here on campus, they tend to focus incoming freshman but did not provide a reason as to why.

She was also able to explain Invisible Children groups within the Fort Worth Area. She said that the majority of their support comes from groups within high schools or colleges. Our campus group has teamed up with UT and UTA. The three together have decided that their goal is to raise funds for Pabbo Secondary School in Northern Uganda and therefore, 100% of the monies raised goes directly to that.

She encourages all to get involved by either joining weekly meetings or becoming a contributor. She also encourages all interested to come and see the scheduled semester screenings of the video that typically moves people to act.
