Facebook event link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=113910795336307
Invisible Children is a social, political, and global movement using the transformative power of story to change lives. On October 21st, Monica and Irene will be coming all the way from Uganda to share their stories in person.
Monica, 21, was orphaned because of Africa's war. Despite these trials, she has been a top performing student from Aware Secondary School and will be starting at the university in the near future. She's eager to tell her story to help other students like herself overcome the odds and also get an education. Irene is on staff at Invisible Children's office in Pader, Uganda.
They will introduce their documentary and answer questions afterward.
Teachers: A representative would be more than happy to speak to your classes to introduce Invisible Children and invite your students to attend, and if you are interested in giving extra credit to students who attend we can coordinate our efforts.

8. Peace Corps and Foreign Language Globe Talk
Thursday, 10/21, 6:30-7:30 p.m., Hub International Center
Ever thought about applying for the Peace Corps? Come out to our Foreign Language GlobeTalk to learn more about making yourself a competitive applicant as well as hear what Returning Peace Corps Volunteers have to say about their experiences overseas.
Around 35% of Peace Corps countries have a language requirement - either 2 years of high school or 1 year of college French or other Romance language, or 4 years of high school or 2 years of college level Spanish. Even if the country you are nominated or invited to does not require a language, the ability to learn a language in the last ten years is a skill that can make you a more competitive applicant!
The Foreign Language GlobeTalk is meant for all so make sure to tell your friends!
Sincerely,
Ashley
