The Washington Post
Northern Uganda made the front page of the Washington Post’s world news. They received a whole lot more than the usual couple sentences too. There are video interviews, personal stories, and a detailed history of the conflict.

Alice
When he isn’t exposing the world to injustice, or hanging out with dance crews, Jason Russell is turning classic fairy tales into modern day musicals.
A side project of Jason and Danica Russell, “Alice” is Alice in Wonderland meets High School Musical. It is the story of an everyday teen on the crazy journey of ‘discovering who you are’. There’s no way it will be anything short of amazing. His last musical having more pyrotechnics, smoke, and crazy dance moves than anything on Broadway.
Check out the trailer and, if you are in the San Diego area, order your tickets. It is selling out fast.
