Blog Updates and inspiration

They say the older you get, the wiser your teachers become. Whoever said that must have been a teacher, simply because it’s true. Today we celebrate National Teacher Day and honor those who have dedicated their careers to education, inspiration, and innovation. These selfless individuals are among our most valuable resources, and continue to equip generations with the tools […]

Invisible Children is proud to partner with over 40 unique and innovative social brands at the Common Good Exchange during this year’s Fourth Estate Leadership Summit. One of the organizations we’re partnering with is Restore International. Restore was founded in 2004 by Bob Goff. We could write an entire blog about Bob, but thankfully he’s […]

It was not a typical afternoon at Mend. Out in the yard, the women were somersaulting and dancing around on colorful mats, full of nervous energy. It was their very first yoga lesson. Lolly Berger, of Pachamama’s Daughters Yoga, led them through the poses while Lapat Evelyn, the Mend social worker, translated her directions into […]

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 […]

[Invisible Children Music: We firmly believe that music has a necessary role in giving social movements tremendous amounts of momentum.

Invisible Children Music has a collection of new tunes […]

As part of our Fourth Estate Leadership Summit this August, we’re partnering with more than 40 top social brands to be part of our Common Good Exchange so that participants can interact and meet the people behind forward-thinking organizations. We’re excited to welcome the Keep a Breast Foundation’s Non-Toxic Revolution to the Summit. In 1999, the founder of the Keep […]

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?” […]

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 […]

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 […]
