Lupe and Nye.

Our philosophy is pretty well known. A lot of littles make one big. It’s the everyday heroes that matter. You can make a difference.

And as we say these things, we hope you’re listening. We hope you know we’re not just blowing smoke. We’re not just talking to talk. We believe in these philosophies. We have faith in people. We know individuals are the roots of change. And we know that because of people like Guadalupe Salazar and Nye Beamer.

Lupe and Nye are 16-year-old students from Phoenix School in Roseburg, Oregon, and after seeing Invisible Children: Rough Cut, they decided they wanted to do something to help. Together they raised over $15,000 and will soon be flying to Tanzania to help teach students in an orphanage.

    Lupe and nye, because you were looking beyond your own needs and saw the needs of kids
    who need your help, love and attention, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams and
    you will remember this experience as one of the richest for the rest of your life. I’m so proud of
    you both, and I wish you well.
