Food and water served and smiles again

Things are looking up - saltines and water all round after a long day without and queues to boot...

Saltines never tasted so good!

Queueing for food IDP camp style...

Do we look thirsty now? We sure are!

Do we look thirsty?

Austin

There's an event this weekend here in Austin (one of 15 cities in the USA) where we'll be sleeping outdoors together with 58,000 other people in support of the children's cause. We'll do this for 24 hours in sleeping bags, card board boxes and will eat only saltines ('crackers' for you saffers :-) and drink only water.

Click on the pictures on the right to view the videos ----->

I'll be posting mobile pictures to this blog (http://icaustin.blogspot.com) below and encourage others at the event to do the same...

If you've checked out the Invisible Children website and feel some compassion for what we're doing here go ahead and send me a picture of you and your friends in 'remote' support of this event. If you want to post directly to the blog, let me know and I'll give you access.

I want to get pictures of supporters from as many countries as I can up there before Saturday so spread the word to your friends and family...

Introduction

If like us you know about the plight of the Invisible Children in Uganda and you've signed up for the Nationwide Displace Me event then you'll know why we're excited about this weekend.

This blog will be used to post Mobile pictures during the 24hours we'll be in the field, displaced so to speak...

See you there.
