Call to Action The child soldiers in Uganda need your help! Young children are being kidnapped from their homes and made into killing machines. These kids should be enjoying their childhood, but they are introduced to drugs and guns. We must steer them towards the right path and stop the LRA.

Follow this link to watch a video about child soldiers. There are many ways you can do to help the children in Uganda during this difficult time. One of the main things is to donate money to a trusted charity. For $12 a month, an organization can work hard and bring home one child soldier. You can also donate $25 a month to send a child to school, through an organization called Invisible Children. The children you send to school will go on to become leaders of Uganda.

Also, it would be beneficial to write letters to your congressmen. Writing letters can help raise awareness about child soldiers and how serious the situation in Uganda is becoming.

Telling friends and family about the situation helps as well because if the word is spread, we can really make a difference.
