2 Days until The Rescue, are you ready?

The Rescue is in 2 days. I am very excited about the opportunity we have to do something for the people in Uganda. It has taken a lot of hard work, long hours, and sleepless nights to prepare for this global event — and you have the chance to be a part of it.

I have great news: Yesterday, more people than any other day visited this blog. Today, I received an e-mail from a member of Parliament asking to meet with me about the child soldiers in Uganda, and said that he had told everyone he knew about our event.

Most of what needs to be said, has been said here already. I believe that we can make a difference this Saturday, and change the lives of thousands of children. I hope that you believe that too, and what success has been shown already by the passion and care of the Greek people involved, is proof of that.

If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together. – Aboriginal Activist Group, 1970′s

Technically, its Tuesday right now.

So, today I finally finished the huge banners we’re going to be holding in Syntagma Square. There I am, to the left, on my balcony painting. As you can see in the other photos below, Lisa and I have been making posters for the event, as well. It has been a long and artistic last few days in our apartment. 

Right now, I am putting together “The Rescue Pack, Athens” which is a complete guide to everything The Rescue in Athens. It includes where to show up, when to show up, what to bring and what to expect when you arrive.  I will post it by morning so that everyone will have plenty of time to flip through it. I will keep it concise. 

P.S. Special thanks to Isabela and Cassi, for all of their help recruiting.
