The Rescue

Last month TVC Youth took part in a world wide event called "The Rescue". The event was organized by Invisible Children as a peaceful demonstration to free the child-soldiers of Northern Uganda. Below are the photos from the event.The starting point was at Centennial Park, marked by a sign labeled "Abduction Point."

We all walked single file, through Nashville, caring a rope.



We marched over 5 miles and ended at Bicentennial Mall in front of the Capital building. This spot was known as "The LRA Camp." This is where we waited to be rescued by attracting the attention of the media, a government official, and a celebrity.

Everyone clipped photos of their self, with friends and family, which symbolized being abducted and leaving your loved ones behind.

Waiting to be rescued.

We wrote letters to our senators asking to help free the child-solders.
Whitney and Emma created a collage depicting the need to help the children in Uganda.

We were successfully rescued, but we still chose to spend the night in support of the abducted children and those who night commute for protection.
