Montara sleep-in for Ugandan orphans tonight

The Greenhouse in Montara is sponsoring an event to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in northern Uganda, where there are 800,000 orphans in displacement camps who lost their parents to AIDS and civil war. Displace Me takes place Saturday night, July 21 from 8pm to 7am Sunday in the Montara Post Office parking lot.  The organizers have gotten all the official approvals.

The Greenhouse says that Displace Me has been attended by more than 80,000 other Americans this year, with 2,500 in the Cow Palace lot this Spring. 

Teens, parents, and Greenhouse Staff in Montara are sleeping out in cardboard boxes on the asphalt to learn about the plight of those Ugandan orphans.  This event will set the stage for a fund-raising garage sale next Saturday at 277 6th Street, at Farallone and Sixth.  All proceeds go directly to get Ugandan kids out of the camps and into residential schools with surrogate parents.
