Nerinx Student Dedicating a Year to Invisible Children

Becky Dale, Nerinx alum, and phenomenally great kid has decided to take a leave of absence from Mizzou to spend a year helping Invisible Children as a roadie.

I could describe Becky, but her words are so much better than mine.
Here is why she describes she is doing what she is doing.

"There's a great big world out there. It's a beautiful world filled with the laughter of children and the spray of water crashing on rocks and creatures yet undiscovered stalking through the underbrush of some long-forgotten rainforest. It's a sad world filled with the uncomforted tears of mothers and the hatred of brothers and the accidents of those who throw caution to the wind. It's an exciting world filled with wonder and adventure and incredible impossibilities. I love that world.

I am here to learn--to see the majesty of that world wherever I am, to hear the words and the stories of the people who walk it, to recognize the similarities between us.

I am here to face a challenge--a personal challenge to keep fighting, a greater challenge to promote change, even greater to inspire.

I am here because I was changed and challenged years ago. I was shown a beautiful world so different from my own and invited to be a part of it. I am here to join that world making it a part of who I am and to share it with everyone I meet.

I am here to love and to hopefully bring peace.

Like I said--pretty amazing.. My prayers are with you my friend.
