Invisible Children: Stories of War
Film and Discussion with Asimwe Proscovia
Thursday, 04 Nov 2010 at 7:00 pm – Gallery, Memorial Union
Invisible Children is working to rebuild education in northern Uganda, a region recovering from over twenty years of war. It uses documentary films about war-affected children in east Africa as well as international speaking tours to advocate for access to education and economic development. As part of the 2010 Face-to-Face Tour, Asimwe Proscovia will share her experience as a recent graduate of the Invisible Children Legacy Scholarship Program. The program's students are child mothers, displaced persons, and orphans by war who refuse to be defined by their past. Asimwe Proscovia will speak and take questions immediately following the film. Part of the World Affairs Series.http://www.invisiblechildren.com/
