No words.
I have the honor of working with Invisible Children to see an end to LRA violence in East Africa; I consider all of the staff at Invisible Children as part of my family.
Today, I’m devastated.
My friend Nate “Oteka” Henn was tragically lost in a terrorist attack in Kampala on July 11th by an explosion at a rugby field where hundreds had gathered to watch the final game of the World Cup.
Nate served with Invisible Children for a year and a half traveling around the US advocating for children abducted and forced to fight as soldiers.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Henn family.
Via the Invisible Children Blog;
Nate was not a glory-seeker and never sought the spotlight. He asked not to be made a hero of.
But the life he lived inspires reflection and imitation.
Nate’s life ended while living out this dream, a selfless dream of putting others first, seeking peace, and living a life of integrity. He will be forever missed, forever remembered, and his legacy will live on in our love and deeds.
