Meet Adam Finck. Yes, he’s good looking. But he’s also a smarty-pants and is our Director of Programs in central Africa. He recently traveled to DR Congo and brought along his handy iPhone. Which obviously translates to behind-the-scenes-instagram-filtered photos.

One of our interns recently ended her stint at Invisible Children and returned home to resume her life. She has a blog and wrote a post entitled “Invisible Children Ruined My Life” which reflects on her time with us and what she learned about herself. I laughed so hard, I cried. And if I cry, […]

I need to wear more rings. So I’ve chosen to buy this one – it’s an IC Exclusive in partnership with Made and currently available on our online store. It makes a statement (I’m all about making statements) and I feel like it will go with everything. Dress it up, dress it down, go big, or […]
