A whirlwind of brilliant political, environmental, social, and just plain mental frenzy, Filipe keeps himself humble by consistently losing at Uno. His pet peeves include Mexican food restaurants’ insistence on using Styrofoam, and Jesus. Filipe often tells of his favorite childhood memory from Portugal: him wearing a sea shell bra, telling his mother that he wants to be Ariel when he grows up. He didn’t miss the mark by far. His beautiful beard is nonetheless way more pumice-like than the downy soft goodness that is his teammate Kevin’s facial glory.

Kristin started out wanting to be an astronaut. Fortunately for us, she decided to leave her space camp days behind and switch to something that she is absolutely amazing at: loving people. It is this love for others, for close friends and family as well as strangers halfway across the world, that has brought her to revolutionary work, which she has dedicated her life to. Despite her busy schedule, Kristin still manages to make time for the other loves in her life, including dark chocolate, laughing, photography, music, and Robert Schwartzman.

Kevin Omara Olara Yesu Ozuku Layela.
Kooventude.
Smuses.
Grizzly.
Mr. Bootylicious.
He’s a man of many names, and many faces. Not to say he’s two-faced, or a liar. He just has lots of looks. All of which are dashingly debonaire. Most of which involve a mustache or two. You see, he’s a master of disguise, a man of mystery, a very enigma of humanity; but you would never know by talking with him. He’s a syntactic wizard. Not to mention an actual wizard. One minute with him and you’ll feel that you’ve entered and will never escape a sort of spiritual hurricane, or an emotional chimpanzee.
This all to say that “the Kev†has many names, and many faces. When the sun hits his locks, it glows with satisfaction that its rays glimmer so brilliantly off his head. It glows like a stick in some freaky person’s mouth at a dancing party with no lights except for black lights; and the sticks are glowing. And his greatest dream is that everyone he meets will glow forever after with a darkness piercing, evil shattering, world changing ferocity.

Walking into Invisible Children for the first time was completely overwhelming and intimidating; I’m nineteen-years-old, and this was my first adventure on my own, without my seven brothers and sisters, without my mom by my side, without a good friend encouraging me along the way. I was lost in a state of amazement by our mission and movement, not to mention the community of such a unique people blew my mind.
I’m from Palm Desert, one of the hottest places in Southern California and I was placed on a team touring the coldest region of the country. Before this past Schools for Schools Tour, I had never been away from home for more than three weeks; I had never experienced true autumn, I had never seen snow.
After being on the road for six weeks on this past fall, I found my place at Invisible Children, my voice as an individual, and the power and beauty of community. I have grown in myself and am eager to return to the road, to share true heart and to give my all to those seeking something more.
I’m looking forward to seeing new and old faces, to the laughter and stories shared and the tears cried.
Cheers, friends; I’ll see you soon.

The daughter of world travelers who settled down in America before Mel was born, she was instilled with a love for traveling, new experiences, and humanity, as well as a larger but more transitory understanding of the word “home†than most Americans. She loves the diverse and eccentric, her musical taste not excluded: most of it sounds like a poorly conducted orchestra of rusty, mentally insane robots from Japan or Puerto Rico, somewhere in Europe anyway, to me [Grizzly Barnes].
