Beautiful People



This week, Invisible Children's Frontline Tour launched! We were lucky enough to host 11 of the 16 roadie teams as they passed through Las Cruces on the way to their various locations. That's 44 people. And every one of them was incredible. There was very little sleep and an overwhelming amount of love and friendship. It was an incredible experience for me. I've never wanted to instantaneously be best friends with so many people at once, especially while knowing that they would be leaving in a matter of hours. The passion I saw in everyone was astounding. They were exhausted, but they were excited. We were strangers, but we were already friends through our common desire to see the LRA stopped and peace in Central Africa. It was only a few hours that we got to spend with these people, but by the time they were leaving, I felt I had just substantially increased the size of my family.

These people are sacrificing so much to go out and work for what they believe in. They are amazing human beings. And what's really cool is we can support them from home! We can also fight for peace and see the LRA disarmed. Getting to meet the roadies was inspiring and encouraging. We're working for change, and we're seeing it happen.

So get involved! Be part of this. You won't regret it. Team Las Cruces is just getting started, and we want you to join us.
