GUESS for invisible children

This past week, Kristen bell, along with co-hosts Rachel Bilson and Pete Wentz hosted their first event to launch the new line of special edition organic men’s T-shirts and women’s tanks to benefit education and economic rebuilding in the war-ravaged African nation of Uganda These t-shirt are made with Edun Organic Cotton and grown and harvested in Uganda. The t-shirts will be available in every single Guess store across the country and the best part is that 100% of the sale price goes to the Invisible Children Foundation. The initial idea for this line of shirts sprung from the collaboration of Caroline and Olivia Marciano, daughters of Maurice Marciano, CEO of Guess. These two young women have become some of Invisible Children’s strongest and most involved activists, throwing events, spreading the word about this crisis taking place in Northern Uganda Today.

“Invisible Children.” A rough-cut documentary filmed by three young, Southern Californian native filmmakers that traveled to Africa to search for a story, but instead found a life-changing reality. The three young men was not only highly disturbed by the war taken place in Northern Uganda, specifically the widespread of Uganda’s night commuters and child soldiers, but extremely moved to bring the message and story to all unaware of the injustice happening in this country. What started as a intimate and private screening for close friends and family soon turned into a widespread phenomenon, being viewed by millions all over the world, fervent to do all they can to help the injustice they experienced by watching the documentary. I personally have yet to watch the film, however I’m thinking that I will this weekend =)
