On April 29 thousands of people will be gathering all across the nation and here in Wisconsin at Coate field on the UW-LaCrosse campus at around 7:30 8 PM. Then they will "commut" (walk) to the parking lot of the YMCA in La Crosse and spending the night sleeping in the parking lot. They are doing this because every night thousands of children in Uganda must walk miles from their homes into the center of the city each night to spend the night packed together like sardines in basically empty warehouses - because that is the only place they are safe from being kidnapped and used as child soldiers or sex slaves.

On April 29 people around the world are commuting to the center of their cities and spending the night outside to bring awareness of the situation into focus to create the support that is needed to end this crisis.

During the night they will write letters to congress, sign petitions and also take pictures, do artwork, and write letters that will be taken to Uganda and be given to the children there!
