Common Good Exchange // 31 Bits
Three cool things about my recent trip to Uganda: 1. Seeing Invisible Children Uganda’s recovery programs in all their 3D glory. 2. Sleeping under a mosquito net and feeling like I had a fairy princess bed (finally!) 3. Touring the 31 Bits compound and getting to see the behind-the-scenes action of their jewelry making. Seeing the hard work […]

Just like us, Connie’s Invisible Children journey began with the Rough Cut. Cincinnati native Connie Ring has the two toughest jobs on the planet – she’s a mother (of two) and a math teacher at Archbishop Moeller High School. Connie’s teaching job landed her a gig chaperoning students at a leadership conference which happened to […]

Innovation in the classroom // Geddit
Imagine for a second that you’re back in high school. You walk into your history class, sling your backpack down on the floor next to you, and pull out your aged textbook. Just as you start to zone out, the bell rings and your teacher begins to speak. “Will everyone please take out their cellphones?” […]
Common Good Exchange // Krochet Kids intl
It started simply enough. Three high school buddies were avid snow boarding enthusiasts and started crocheting their own beanies (they realize this sounds sort of strange: “Though it was not a normal hobby for high school guys, we reveled in the novelty of it.”) Fast forward 5+ years, and those three buddies run the very successful […]
Uganda: Photo Friday
We love supporting a good cause, and getting some exercise in the process. Last Sunday staff and beneficiaries of Invisible Children Uganda took to the streets of Gulu for the Northern Uganda Marathon fundraiser for maternal health. Eight staff and 19 of the Mend seamstresses came to run the 10k, our own Laker Pamela taking […]

The exciting history of Royce Hall
This August I’ll be joining hundreds of activists at UCLA‘s Royce Hall for the Fourth Estate Leadership Summit. As I sit here in my sticky, oversized, leather desk chair a few months removed from the Summit, I can’t help but wonder what kind of chair I’ll be sitting in as I listen to some of […]
