Blog Updates and inspiration

Last October, Warby Parker uprooted from it’s NYC headquarters and has since been touring across the nation bringing its eyewear products directly to the people in what may be the longest Class Trip ever. When we found out Warby’s yellow school bus would be rolling into San Diego in February, we knew we had to get involved. So, we combined […]

New year, new office. With the beginning of 2013, we were excited to move offices and start afresh in a new space that seems like it was always supposed to be our home. It’s spacious, sleek, lofty, and has a lot of exposed bricks – which the Pinterest users in the building are loving. We’re […]

Just this morning, we welcomed a group of students and staff from Franklin College in Indiana who were traveling through Uganda and decided to swing by the Invisible Children Uganda (ICU) office while in Gulu. Obviously everyone can’t just hop on a plane to Uganda, but we thought you might like a peek inside the […]

As residents of Southern California, we’re not used to the cold weather that has plagued us this past month. We’re legitimately freezing and not ashamed of our use of blankets, space heaters, hot beverages, and incessant complaining. Here are some of our staff members trying to function in our office that has now reached temperatures […]

We’re happy to introduce a guest contributor to our blog today – Beth Kruziki, owner of Meomore, a design and photography business in Eugene, Oregon. I am a teacher. I am also an artist – teaching art and collaborating with secondary students is utterly satisfying. But perhaps most importantly, I am a mother. I nurture, […]

Little known fact: more people work in our Invisible Children Uganda offices than in our headquarters in San Diego. There are 107 staff members that man the IC ship in Uganda and two of them recently flew in for a quick visit (and by quick, we mean they flew 14,000+ miles for a 3-day visit.) […]

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, […]

Don’t cry over spilled milk. Keep a stiff upper lip. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Sometimes you just want some advice. Objective, sage advice from people who can shed light on any situation and have your best interests at heart. Earlier this year, Invisible Children wanted (needed #samething) just that (we […]

Don’t worry – I’m back to let you in on my new favorite holiday product offered through our online store. Our holiday line supports artisans across East Africa and there is so much handmade goodness, I hardly know what to do with myself. My pick for today is a must-have since it will really go […]

The countdown is on. There are three days until the start of the largest, most complicated event Invisible Children has ever conducted, and we’re bringing the heat from every department. Our Movement department is still bringing in new registrants through phone calls, emails, and carrier pigeons. Our Art department has been working tirelessly on posters, […]
