Boise

We spent a week in Boise, Idaho. We had some amazing screenings. One of which was a screening to an alternative schools where kids came who had been kicked out of regular school or had trouble with drugs, problems at home etc. It was a screening I was really looking forward to. The school was maybe 150 and it was a low income area and we knew that we wouldn't make a lot of money. But that's not what Invisible Children is all about. We want people to see what's going on in other parts of the world and just see what conditions other people have to face every day too. A teacher came up to us after we had screened to the school. He wouldn't stop telling us what an impact we had on the school. He said how the film "subdued" them and how it completely got their attention. How it kicked down barriers and kids shared in class how they feel and what they thought-a rarity for that school. Hearing that made my day. It made me happier than having a record day in sales. We met these kids through the film and then I got to talk to so many. I feel so privileged and honored to be a part of this incredible organization.

We also had a little free time and it just so happened all our host homes had trampolines...video.
