last week i had the opportunity to help plan an event at our school.
pretty much it was amazing.
let me introduce you to a wonderful organization called invisible children.
for those of you that have never heard about this organization, i highly suggest that you look into it.
long story short, it's an organization that helps spread awareness about this 20 year war going on in africa right now. in this war, the leaders are abducting children and forcing them to fight for them. the statistics and abuse that is going on is unreal. and most of us have no idea about it. people are comparing this to the next holocaust and here we sit, caught up in our own worlds, not a care about helping those in need.
the craziest part of it all to me, is the fact that 3 college kids discovered this entire tragedy going on in africa and created the invisible children organization only a few short years ago.
wow.
i feel so productive with my life...
honestly, this whole thing has really gotten me to think about what i'm doing with my life.
how much good am i doing for others?
planning events for non profit organizations is my dream job. helping out with these organizations that do so much good for others is what i want to do with my life. i can't think of anything better.
warning: ranting of thoughts about to start.
sometimes i get somewhat frustrated with our society. maybe this is me just being selfish though. but really... there are so many people in this world dedicated to so many things. sports, partying, drugs, art, music, facebook. the list goes on and on. but if just 1 out of every 5 of us could put half of the dedication we do into those things, into helping others... can you imagine how much better of a place this world would be? it just seems so simple to me. i don't get it. there's a solution for peace. so just do it.
be nice.
help others.
do good.
yet you turn on the news and we listen to endless stories about tragedies going on around the world.
alright, i'll chill out with my little rant of thoughts.
but really, this organization is great. it has such a special spot in my heart and i really respect everything they stand for. spend a few minutes and look into it. it's amazing.
well anywho, the event went amazing. we had a great turn up and i was so happy with the way everything went. great music. great people. great organization. great night.
