My name is Jordan Farrar and I am a first year Doctoral student in University of Denver's Graduate School of Social Work. My interests are centered around International Social Work, with a focus on child soldiers, children in armed conflict and social development. I am about to embark on a fundraising journey to raise funds that will allow me to travel to Uganda 2012 to work with the Arise Foundation. My goal is to acquire used laptops, a used digital camera, thumb drives and a used video camera for the foundation. I will be working to teach pro social life skills to former child soldiers. I am also interested in their adult education and HIV/AIDS program. Below is a video I urge you to watch as it discusses the issue of child soldiers in Uganda.
I encourage you to join me on this journey. To see the trials and tribulations of educating others on a topic many choose to ignore as well as to see that with education, you can spread an important message and advocate for marginalized populations.
