Re: Invisible Children

Hi Meghan,

I respect your initiative, but what you're asking is difficult for most teams to accomplish for safety reasons. Many teams fly or drive back Saturday after Awards ceremonies, so ATL will be a hectic place.

May I suggest something else instead?

Make this a point of awareness for your team, or make a booth, or a poster, or a flier, that you can pass around with the url on it, and some background information. Offer it to people as they pass - if they decline, respectfully don't bother them. If they accept, share what you have learned. Remember, those kids in Uganda want education, but people outside of that situation need education to want to help the situation. I admire you for putting such a commitment in, but in this situation it might be best for you to simply raise awareness by passing out fliers.

Good luck!
- Genia
