Displace me.....

I love Invisible Children. I support the work they are doing. I see daily the faces they are trying to show the rest of the world. I work with Acholi women, I have kids in my class that walked all the way from the Sudan to escape the genocide in darfur and the war in northern Uganda. I can't be with all of you that are participating in the Displace me event...here's how i'm attempting to be with you in spirit.

I work about an hour and a half walk from my house here in mukono. On behalf of the kids in my class from the Sudan and the night commuters, I have begun walking home daily from work, roughly the distance of the childrens commutes. While walking I don't drink water and I wear my sandles. It is only the slightest glimps into what these children do daily. I have been doing it for a little over a month now...all of that time added up won't even be the distance these children have been displaced.

Go. Be displaced. Try to understand.

I am going to walk from Eugene to Seattle this summer, that is roughly the distance that my kids had to travel. If you want to come....you're more than welcome.

Don't talk about change. Do something. Live changed.
