Sign the petition. Save the LRA strategy. from The Resolve on Vimeo . Great news for the people of Africa! Many of you asked how the LRA get their Guns (which provide the fear that allows Kony to control the region) and it's the government of Sudan that have been supporting the LRA. This congressman, Royce, is trying to pass a bill that will not remove Sudan from the US terrorism list until they stop supplying the LRA with money and weapons. This is a great step to hit the LRA where it hurts, but the people of Uganda still need our help. Read the article HERE and sign the PETITION to receive 10 points "make-up" credit (if you missed the last couple of weeks) When you sign the petition there is a box where you can add a comment, please do this so I can verify and give you the credit. Sign the petition by Monday 11:59pm. :)

" This amazing house was build in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica . A young couple with two children from Mexico City who after living in a conventional home wanted to change to one integrated to nature. The goal of this project was to make it feel like an internal inhabitant of a snail, like a mollusk moving from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil maternal cloister."
