Review for Invisible Children Inc., Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a volunteer, employee and board member for various non-profits over the past 32 years. Invisible Children has captured my heart and the hearts of my husband and four adult children! Each opportunity to volunteer has been a gift to us! Over the past 10 years I have seen IC grow and change the lives of many Ugandans! I appreciate how they respect the time of each volunteer and are very organized. We always accomplish much during hours spent volunteering. This is a great organization!

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Review for Designers4Africa, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I first met April Star Davis when I purchased some of her very unique jewelry. I am part of the organization Invisible Children. As we conducted business, we also talked about giving back to the world. April had the great idea of having groups of designers donate items to be auctioned at fundraisers for African non-profits. Hence, D4A was born.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

One of the non-profits that was a beneficiary of D4A's fundraising was Drop in the Bucket. They provide fresh water to communities. They are currently connected with Invisible Children's school projects.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Find a marketing firm to put the name out more. i would also find someone who is great at writing and editing posts.
