Final Idea Proposal

Proposal: To raise money toward helping the youth of Northern Uganda, Africa escape the hardships of war and educate themselves to make change in their country for the future.

Who: Ramapo College of New Jersey students and professors

What: Invisible Children - Supporting the youth of Northern Uganda by raising money to rebuild a school destroyed by the war

Where: Ramapo College as well as a partner school in Northern Uganda

How: By using media outlets such as the college newspaper, radio station, bulletin boards to spread awareness

Why: To show the importance of helping those less fortunate and give participants a feeling of achieving something that assists the betterment of a society.

Invisible Children is an organization devoted to rebuilding schools in Northern Uganda that have been destroyed by the longest running war in Africa. They hope to inspire students to help their peers, even though they are on the other side of the world, by touring across the country and showing videos of the inspiring contributions they have already made to this important effort.

The staff of hundreds of full time volunteers, and thousands of students and supporters nationwide have already rebuilt many schools and given scholarships to Uganda's brightest. Recently this organization presented at Ramapo College of New Jersey and inspired the students to start our very own "Schools for Schools" program, which means that any money Ramapo raises in support of this effort goes directly to the rebuilding of a school Uganda.
