Hey everyone, as many of you know, tomorrow is a big day! More than 53,000 people throughout the United States will be walking to central locations in their cities to sleep. This is in honor of thousands of children in Northern Uganda who do this every night to evade a rebel army which kidnaps children and forcibly enlists them, immediately exposing them to murder and bloodshed as a brainwashing technique.

San Luis has 580 people signed up already to sleep in Santa Rosa Park! You can still be part of this important movement to end a war that is spiralling out of control. This has the potential to make a huge impact! We will be writing letters to congress while we spend the night with hundreds of people who want to make a difference. (And don't worry, there will be police around to make sure it's safe!)

For information about your city's event and why this is so important, visit www.invisiblechildren.com and click on Global Night Commute. There is also an article on The Tribune website.

I hope to see you there!

UPDATE: There's now 600 people signed up!
