'NCC for Africa' will partner with the International Justice Mission as part of the Invisible Children Program's "25" event. On April 25th, participants will take an oath of silence to raise of awareness of the children fighting in the Congo. We will try to raise money for the IC program before.

We also discussed the potential of conducing a clothing drive to benefit the Rwandan group "Ubuntu in Action" and group in Kenya, hosting a screening of a local film maker's documentary on Kenyan slums to name a few, and partnering with a group in Decatur that sells items from the area...just to name a few.

To lead up to the 25th, 'NCC for Africa' will be conducting a bake sale on Thursday (April 13) at 5:30 PM and also at noon on Friday (April 14) in the lobby of  WAC. If you have anything you would like to bake and sell, let me know. You will be refunded. We are also looking for a few great people to sell baked goods.

There will be a meeting in the Kiekoffer gathering room on Tuesday (April 19) at 4:15 PM. At the meeting will knock the final details and what everyone will do at the event.
