Supporter Spotlight // Becca Grogan
I suppose it’s human nature to mold people into a preconceived category or stereotype. But sometimes, when you’re lucky, you meet someone who is too complex to fit any grouping at all. For me, that was true of a 21-year-old Visual Communication Design major at Virginia Tech. Becca Grogan seems to be a jack of […]

Activist, Father, Grandpa, Gardener…Jeff Man plays multiple roles and defies many stereotypes because of a very powerful force behind him – his family.

Supporter Spotlight // An office dog’s perspective
An entry from Mick, the office dog: My day begins the same. My master and I jump out of a wheeled machine, the same kind I so frequently enjoy chasing. I dash up some steps to an office where I hear noises echo through the maze of desks and chairs. Alas, another Friday with the […]

Supporter Spotlight // Hayley Reardon
Music is a driving force in the work we do here at Invisible Children. It propels our social movement and serves as a universal language. The same is true for 16-year-old singer and songwriter Hayley Reardon. This Boston native is much like every 16-year-old. She’s an avid reader and coffee drinker. Oh, and she used songwriting to […]
The Fourth Estate Summit just got sweeter
Last August, Karla and James Walker vowed to love and cherish one another till death do them part. One year later, Karla and James are vowing to change the world together.
