I just realized that I haven't said much about the links on the right side of the page.
Invisible Children is a group that works on behalf of displaced chlidren in Northern Uganda. They are the people responsible for the Displace Me nights all over the world where people (usually young people) sleep in the streets to show solidarity with their little brothers and sisters in Uganda.
Waves of Justice is a blog that is loosely related to a new nonprofit called Isaiah Project International. I'm a part of IPI but I don't have anything to do with the blog. It follows the summers of young people all over the world.
International Justice Mission is basically like a holy swat team. It's a group that uses national laws to help oppressed people. Usually, it helps young people forced into prostitution, people wrongfully put into prison, and people who had their land wrongfully taken. They even stage raids on brothels. That's awesome.
Restore International is a nonprofit in India and Uganda. They do things with the judiciary, digging wells, teenage prostitutes, and some other projects. The founder, Bob, is an amazing man. He might be the most well-connected person I've come into contact with.
Ilea's Blog is Ilea's blog. Go read the whole thing and you will get a better idea of what is happening in Uganda right now. A lot of good links here.
Enjuba is a clothing/fashion company started to spur on economic development. It gives African artisans an easy way to sell their work on the internet, and therefore all over the world. A new friend of mine named Leah works for them. I honestly don't know much about this company at all, but I thought I'd pass it along.
That's all for now. I'm sure I'll add more sites later.
