Ever since watching the Dateline MSNBC feature highlighting what is taking place in Uganda, my life hasn't been the same. Each night, children between the ages of 3-10 are walking 5 miles to a safety shelter, all to make the return walk the next morning. These shelters are packed with 100's of children, providing a dirt floor to sleep and a blanket of safety throughout the night. As a parent of two, I simply could not sit on the sidelines and not do anything. I hope to, through the user of YourCause.com, educate others about Uganda, the LRA, and what all is taking place and what we can do about it.
