On the whole,* Invisible Children looks to provide humanitarian aid to
displaced persons in northern, war-torn Uganda who have suffered from
Africa's longest-running civil war. Moreover, they aim to provide shelter,
safety, and education to children who were or would otherwise be child
soldiers in the rebel army (the LRA, or the Lord's Resistance
Army.<http://www.invisiblechildren.com/history-of-the-war/>)


*This next chapter* of Invisible Children's Bracelet
Campaign<http://www.invisiblechildren.com/bracelet-campaign>is about
Tony, and the struggles he faces as a child in this harsh region of
the world.

*There is no price* for attending or eating/drinking, but donations to MIT's
Chapter of Amnesty International will be accepted. Also, Invisible Children
will be selling their merchandise to raise money for their cause.
