See & Do - Benefit: The Rescue April 17 2009
Sat., April 25
Rebel-with-a-cause organization Invisible Children raises awareness of child abductions by the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda with robust humanitarian effort THE RESCUE. Taking place in 100 cities across the globe, the mock abduction and single-file symbolic march begins at CNN Center and ends with an overnight camp at Grant Park – where participants will await rescue until dawn – with the hopes of inspiring action to save the millions of children forced to fight as soldiers in war-torn Central East Africa. $5. 3 p.m. 190 Marietta St. www.invisiblechildren.com.
