News about our program and what we're doing to improve education for all the world's children
All of the staff at Positive Planet are deeply saddened by the news of the tragic death of Nate Henn. Nate was working in Uganda with Invisible Children, an organization well known to us, that assists children in Northern Uganda. Nate was killed during the recent terrorist attacks in Kampala while watching the World Cup with some of the kids he was working with. He was 25 years old.
The people who knew him say that Nate was an incredible human being and a deeply committed activist. He and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We think we’re a good match!
