The summer 2014 interns.

“Invisible Children is not just a nonprofit. We are just ordinary people who made the active decision to do something. We are a unified family that cares about people. We will accomplish what we set out to do: bring Kony to justice and to end the LRA for good.” – Angimero (Graphic Design intern)

 

“Pursue your passions wholeheartedly. Be quick to listen, slow to speak. Love radically.” – Adam (Video Production intern)

 

“Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and do what you love, because that’s where you can truly learn about yourself and also make a difference.” — Tori (Legal intern)

 

“Take the risk. Go all in for a cause that is important to you. You can’t change the world by only liking a Facebook status.” — Emily (Engagement intern)

 

“Don’t not do something.” — Julian (Central African Programs intern)
