For the third time in two years, Invisible Children will be a Chapel forum topic on Tuesday.

A group of roadies from the organization will join Tony Bazilo, who grew up in the Uganda war zone, in the telling of his story and the mission of Invisible Children.

Joleah Stiles, Invisible Children’s East Texas regional manager, said Bazilo will be attending only one of the 17 stops on the roadies’ tour this semester, and hearing his story is a treat.

“Getting the chance to hear Tony speak is really, really rare,” Stiles said. “Meeting him and hearing his story to where he is now is astounding. People make it a priority to be there.”

Invisible Children is an organization dedicated to combating the use of child soldiers in the northern area of Uganda. Their many chapters, nationwide, educate college students about the Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel group that has been abducting children for the past 25 years.

Stiles said it’s time for college students to get involved.

“We appreciate and believe in the youth,” she said. “We believe that spreading the idea of global citizenship and humanitarianism is incredibly important with talking to college students. There is a lot of power in college students in that they leave school to be some of the most powerful people in the world.”

Mark Lewis, assistant dean for spiritual life and Chapel programs, said the campus was glad to invite the organization back.

“In the midst of sharing their story, they provide tangible ways for students to get involved, and that’s something that is really important to us,” Lewis said. “You can make people aware of a situation, but if you don’t provide some way for them to respond, [the audience] will just leave sort of frustrated and won’t know what to do.”

This semester, the organization has developed two outlets for those wanting to get involved.

“The best way for people to get involved is through helping us with our new protection plan and the Democratic Republic of Congo,” Stiles said. “It is a plan in a place where literally no organizations are working because it’s too dangerous and too remote. It protects some of the most vulnerable people on the face of the earth, in all honesty, in one of the most forgotten humanitarianism crises of this time.”

Stiles also said students can get involved without even leaving the states.

“They can sign up for ‘Try,’ which is a reoccurring donation program, or they can sign up for ’25,’ an international event where we ask people to be silent for 25 hours and to raise $25 for all of those initiatives.”

Two credits will be given to those who attend the Chapel forum. To learn more about Invisible Children and ways to get involved, visit its website, www.invisiblechildren.com.
