Hosted by Dunn's Amnesty International Club, representatives of the Invisivle Children organization visited Dunn today to present a film and answer questions about what they do. From their website: "We use the power of media to inspire young people to help end the longest running war in Africa. Our model has proven effective, and hundreds of thousands of people have been called to action through our films and the volunteers that tour them.


We are made up of a tireless staff, hundreds of full time volunteers, and thousands of students and supporters. We are young, we are citizens of the world, we are artists, activists, and entrepreneurs. This fall, we are using our voice to ask President Obama to spearhead efforts to bring peace to Northern Uganda. We are mobilizing a generation to capture the attention of the international community, and make a stand for justice in the wake of genocide."

Dunn students check out the Invisible Children display after the presentation in the barn.  Purchases of items help support the organization's goal of ending child soldiers in the Ugandan rebel war.
