Yesterday was an activity schedule. Four guys and girls came to our school to express and spread recongition of the war in Uganda that has been going on for years. This is the second time they have visited our school, so I was already familiar with the subject. Along with them, they brought a video of a few people's experience living in Uganda. This video was an updated video of the one that was presented two years ago when I was a sophmore. The video showed images and clips of the suffering that occurs in Uganda everyday. This video centered in mainly on one specific character who struggled everyday to live. He was only 15 and was living on his own. Both his parents were dead. He was very bright and smart and aspired to be a doctor. Each day he went to school even though most days he was sent home due to lack of payments and the specific uniform required. Even though he was turned down on a numerous amount of occasions, he kept returning each day because he said that he personally wanted to help his country to end the suffering. He said there weren't too many doctors around so one more would be an addition to ending the suffering. The video was very educational and was very successful at expressing the issues in africa.
