The phantom and invisible children

May 10 is Pangea day. Organized by acclaimed documentary filmmaker and TED award winner Jehane Noujaim, Pangea Day “taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future.”


Invisible Children. The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 21 years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Ugandan government have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The Ugandan government has failed to protect its citizens from this rebel militia that has murdered mothers and buried the young, leaving an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.




How can we help others if we can't help ourselves?




It'll be hard to change the world. But we can easily change the life of a child.

Strip off everything complicated and materialistic about us, and we are just like them.

If you can, help others. If you want me to help you help others, I am in your Friendster account, phonebook list, Yahoo Messenger, inside your classroom, and probably within a 100-mile radius from you.

If you can't help right now, pray.
