New Prague students present "Invisible Children"

Film screening & silent auction to benefit Amnesty International

At 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, the Amnesty International Belle Plaine High School Student Group will look at a country where young people are in armies instead of classrooms.

A 20-year war in Northern Uganda has displaced thousands of children and killed many more. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) kidnaps children and forces them to become child soldiers.

The children must walk many miles at night to escape being kidnapped or killed. We will be hosting a Human Rights Informational Night with a movie screening of the documentary Invisible Children, which shows the horrors the children of Northern Uganda face daily. We will also have a silent auction.

For more information, call 952-465-6635. The St. Olaf chapter of Amnesty International will be arranging transportation from St. Olaf. Contact Laura Groggel, groggel@stolaf.edu, for more information.
