Obo is a small, very remote community in the southeastern corner of the Central African Republic (CAR). It’s so remote that it’s often referred to as Africa’s “Pole of Inaccessibility” — meaning it’s one of the toughest places on the continent to reach. It’s also where one of our field offices is located and where […]

As you may have heard, our supporters are our superheroes. Their enthusiasm and commitment to justice has made our movement what it is, and our life-saving programs simply couldn’t exist without them. This week, we want to show some love to one of our most dedicated supporters, Danielle McGorman. We are so impressed by what […]

Flannel. Denim. Cuffed pants. Mason jars. What do all of these things have in common, you ask?

Collectively, these supporters raised over $300,000 during the #zeroLRA campaign. Impressive? We think so too. This event was not only an opportunity […]

After 10 days of trekking around Uganda, our 15 #zeroLRA Uganda trip winners are back. They couldn’t be more thrilled to have seen in person the people and programs they’ve worked so hard to support. And from Facebook and Instagram photos we’ve been stalking, it looks like they made some time for adventuring, too – from jungle safaris […]

Right now, 15 of our biggest supporters are on a plane heading to Uganda. After a whirlwind day in the office and a sleepover at the Roadie House, they woke up bright and early (like 4:00 AM early) to catch their first flight. Their ages range from 16 to early 40s, and they come from […]

Although we are not on the road with our Warped Tour Roadies, Nathan and Catherine, we still try to keep up to date on all things Warped Tour— including the crazy stuff that happens. For the next few weeks, we will be bringing you the latest highlights from our Warped Tour tent. Chris Szabo is no […]
