the cult of sincerity

Some friends, or more accurately friends of friends recently made a film, posted it on youtube (by the way, it's a full length film), and are now giving about half of their earnings to Fount of Mercy, an NGO (non-profit) working in Uganda. It's a good film. So, check it out if you have time. Oh, and by the way, to help them out and to "donate" to Fount of Mercy via them, you can do so for nearly for free. So go check out the film and do what they say.

child soldiers

if you have any interest in learning about child soldiers in Uganda, or just getting a larger more complete picture of the world we live in (of which we are definitely in the upper 1% of the world's wealthy and, for the most part, very much out of touch with how the majority of the world unfortunately lives), you should definitely check out my friend's blog about his recent trip to Uganda after having spend a year+ working with World Vision, a non-profit, or NGO, group that works throughout Africa and the world.
