Description: The community of Banda in the Democratic Republic of Congo recently held a commissioning ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of a 300 foot, Invisible Children supporter-funded, FM radio tower. The first of its kind in the area, it will be used to transmits warning signals and "come home" messages over 100km to members of Joseph Kony's LRA. This comes at a crucial time, as there's been increased LRA activity in areas surrounding Banda. Thank you to the many Invisible Children supporters around the world who have donated and fundraised for this incredible project. Because of this new radio tower, increased "come home" messages that encourage safe escapes will be sent to over 100km and widen the network of protection, helping thousands of people in the region get closer to a life free from LRA committed atrocities.
