Invisible Children co-founder Bobby Bailey will speak Monday at 8 p.m. in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. Bailey’s lecture is hosted by the ISUganda group as apart of the Iowa State’s World Affair series.

According to the Invisible Children’s official website, their mission is to “Use film, creativity and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony’s rebel war and restore Lord’s Resistance Army affected communities in central Africa to peace and prosperity.”

Baily and two other friends learned of the violence and kidnappings throughout Uganda during a trip to Africa, beginning their lifelong mission to make a difference.

Upon returning, Bailey and his team created a documentary titled “Invisible Children: Rough Cut” and founded the Invisible Children as a non-profit organization. The group traveled to schools and churches spreading their message and playing their video for thousands.

The Invisible Children are well known for their inspiring “Kony 2012” campaign which promoted the removal of Kony in Uganda in order to save millions of children’s lives. The campaign reached Congress and President Barack Obama, who signed a bill into law in 2010 to remove Kony from power.

Although Bailey left the Invisible Children in 2009 to pursue other goals, he still has a great concern for the poverty stricken areas of the world. Bailey is a co-founder of the Global Poverty Project, which has the vision of a world without extreme poverty within a generation.
