Late one night, a hand roughly grabs your arm and drags you out of bed. Kicking and screaming do little to help as you are carried off, most likely to never see your friends and family again.

While this is an unlikely situation in the security of living in Nebraska, millions in Uganda grew up with the fear of this reality.

Ellie Cusic, Arts & Sciences junior, has organized a benefit concert in conjunction with the Invisible Children charity because she recognized that there’s a need to help with the problems created by the conflict in Uganda.

“I feel as human beings that we are responsible for helping others,” Cusic said. “It shouldn’t matter where it’s at. It’s the fact that people are suffering and if people are suffering, then we are responsible to help.”

Invisible Children is a group working to bring peace to the 23-year-old conflict in Uganda between the Government of Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army. The United States government declared the LRA a terrorist group for taking children from their homes to become soldiers and for destroying villages.

While peace talks are in progress, Invisible Children also helps return families to homes with clean water, education and work opportunities.

Cusic became involved with Invisible Children through a program called Displace Me. She watched a film about the Ugandan Conflict and re-enacted life in a displacement camp by sleeping in a cardboard box.

“From there it just snowballed,” Cusic said. She emailed Invisible Children to see what else she could do. Soon after, Californian rock group “We The Living” contacted her and offered to team up for a benefit concert.

After having to cancel their spring show due to a family emergency, the band and Cusic rescheduled the show for Sept. 21. Along with supplying information about Invisible Children, ticket sales and 10 percent of band merchandise sales will be donated to the organization.

“Invisible Children just asks for your talent, which is kind of abstract,” said John Paul Roney, lead singer of We The Living. “We decided the best way to help them was to do what we do best, which was just play shows and give back. We generate some revenue for them through donations and merch sales.”

While the show’s aim is to create awareness and revenue for Invisible Children, Roney said he wanted it to be clear this wasn’t a lecture and would be a fun rock concert. He said that the Coldplay-influenced band was “going to blow [Creighton] out of the water. It’s going to be unbelievable.”
