Hi Ellen,
My story begins and will, hopefully, end with Invisible Children. In the past, I had always been bombarded with the idea that selfishness IS the human condition. We are made to be selfish and in being so, positive change on an international level is impossible. So, even though my soul yearned for change, this pessimistic worldview suppressed it.
Enter Invisible Children. IC is a movement dedicated to ending Joseph Kony and the Lord Resistance Army's atrocities in Central Africa. We are currently working to fund a Protection Plan which involves building FM radio towers in remote areas in the Congo and Central African Republic in order to warn villages of attacks by the rebel army.
This August, Invisible Children held a conference called the Fourth Estate and it changed my life. It led me to believe that faith in justice and in people's willingness to do good should never disappear. We are all capable of alleviating the suffering of our brothers and sisters around the world.
I want to be on the Ellen Show because not only does IC need people to help fund the Protection Plan but also because the WORLD needs more people to realize their potential. I need Ellen's voice to help others understand that they need to use theirs in order to speak for those whose voices have been taken away from them.
Having Ellen on my side would be the equivalent of a knockout love punch! With her, our message will reach millions of people.
