Hi Professors,
Congratulations on getting through the first half of the semester! I write on behalf of the Invisible Children Club to ask for your help and support in hosting an incredibly moving, eye-opening, and educational documentary screening of the film that started an international movement to end Africa's longest standing war and give the children of Northern Uganda the chance at a future: Invisible Children.
On THURSDAY, MARCH 25TH, Our school's Invisible Children Club is teaming up with PLU's club to host the Invisible Children Roadies and screen this documentary in Kilworth Chapel at 7pm. In addition to these inspired and informed roadies, we also have the chance at hosting Jacob, a young man who spent his childhood nights hiding from rebels in Northern Uganda but now, thanks to programs put in place by Invisible Children Inc., has finished secondary school and is looking forward to studying Law. If he is able to attend, this event will undoubtedly leave a profound impact on our campus community, and we are working very hard to provide a worthy audience, which is WHERE YOU COME IN!
In the hopes of filling Kilworth Chapel to its capacity, we hope that you will please promote this special opportunity to your students and encourage them to come. We would greatly appreciate it if you were able to offer extra-credit to your students who attend, in order to ensure that Jacob and the Roadies don't drive all the way up here for a disappointing turnout. After the screening, there will be a reception in the Kilworth basement for a Meet&Greet and free refreshments!!
We hope that you will join us in making this thought (and ACTION)-provoking event as successful as it can be. To learn more about Uganda's conflict and the work of Invisible Children Inc. please visit www.invisiblechildren.com or stop by our weekly club meetings, Thursdays at 7pm in WSC 201.
Once again, here are the details:
