Lehigh Valley Kids To Walk For Invisible Children on Saturday

Invisible children.

That's what they call these children of Northern Uganda, who are abducted and forced to become soldiers.

Lehigh Valley's children care. On Saturday, Lehigh Valley Academy Charter School’s Student Action Committee and other students will stage a three-mile walk for the war-stricken child soldiers of Uganda. Here are the details.

When: Saturday, 11 AM, at the parking lot under Bethlehem's Hill to Hill Bridge, near Musikfest.

What: A three mile walk through downtown Bethlehem, ending at the Spring on Fourth Street Chili cook-off.

Why: Invisible Children is a nonprofit organization that helps raise money for schools in Africa. f LVA students are asking the public to help them walk for this worthy cause, and to raise money to help support these children (Donations are greatly appreciated although not necessary to walk). T-shirts and buttons will be available for purchase at the event.

Organizers: Five LVA sophomores have organized this walkathon - Josh Won, Amanda Allred, Michelle Valencia, Alyssa Leonard, and Stephen Prager. Their message? "Come help us end a war and save millions from suffering. Come help the Invisible Children."

    Will Bernie be leading the walk with his direction, to follow the middle finger? He is a good role model for these children. Keep believing that Bernie cares about kids! Maybe Bernie will become one of the invisible children!

    Team Casey, Can't you focus on the message for once instead oif the messenger? Yourt attempt to turn everything into a personal; attack against me only diminishes you. You should be ashamed. This is a real issue and I'm happy to see our youth take an interest, but all that motivates you is hate.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
