Invisible Children Inspire

Blog_InvisibleChildren_04Oct2011A surreal mood had set into the Velan Gym during assembly last Tuesday. Not a voice could be heard, not a single chair was squeaking and no feet were being shuffled. Only the constant breathing of 700 mesmerized students was heard. It was visible that the entire audience was stunned from the presentation by the organization featured in assembly, Invisible Children. From the very first minute of the presentation all the way till the very last second, a state of reflection seemed to have fallen over every student and staff member. The gruesome images, heartbreaking stories, and shocking facts about the war and child soldier abuse in Central Africa left the entire Lower Canada College community speechless but inspired. Though most of us sat there shocked throughout the entire 60 minutes, we were inspired to take a stand and help fight the cause. A Frontline Campaign was created within the LCC community to make a change and use the power we have to support others in need. —Yvonne Hercun ’12
