B'not Mitzvah Project for Anna and Megan Charney

We would like to share with you our B’not Mitzvah project. We want to support The Invisible Children Organization. This organization is about kids in Northern Uganda who are abducted to be put in war. This war is between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda. These children are brain washed into killing other children. These kids are not safe in their homes and any of them could be abducted at any time. 1.8 million People have been displaced in this war. Young men from the USA went to Northern Uganda to make a documentary film and it turned into a whole organization! This mitzvah project is important because not many people really know about the invisible children of Northern Uganda . With our help people will get a better understanding and be able to contribute to this group and make these children safer. Hopefully, this will help end the war and educate them to stop the cycle of violence. What we are going to do to help this cause is donate books to the kids in Uganda . We are asking you to donate any type of book to us. There will be two boxes where you can put your donated books. One will be in the pool area and the other by the bulletin board in the synagogue. Some of the books are sold to build schools for the children and some books are given to the children to read. We also plan to donate part of the money from our B’not Mitzvah to The Invisible Children. Please visit their website at www.invisiblechildren.com. Thank you very much! –Anna and Megan Charney
