I’m trying to keep these updates focused on the project, but this news is HUGE. Invisible Children founders Jason Russell, Laren Poole and CEO Ben Keesey just had a meeting with US President Barack Obama in the Oval Office of the White House where Obama signed a bill that will ultimately lead to the freedom of these child soldiers. The bill commits the US to working with central east African countries to help arrest rebel leader Joseph Kony and end Africa’s longest running war.

I realize this post is a little US-centric, but it’s because it’s been a huge push from the international community for this to happen and this is a huge win for the kids in Uganda.
