Additional Information

In northern Uganda, wars are not only fought on the battlefield. Since the day she was born, Roseline has been infected by HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, over a million people are infected with the disease. In 2006 alone, AIDS killed more than 91,000 Ugandans. It’s a disease that took the lives of Roseline’s parents, and it threatens to take hers. But when you meet Roseline, you do not meet a victim. You do not meet a child defined by illness. Rather, you meet the infectious laughter and carefree singing of a hopeful girl. This is the story of joy found in the midst of war. Blue is for Roseline: the story of an AIDS victim.

Blue is for Roseline is one of eight bracelets created through Invisible Children's Bracelet Campaign. Each bracelet is a different color, and each color represents an individual child. These colored bracelets are accompanied by an inspiring short film - Blue is for Roseline runs 24 minutes long - about a child that has been personally affected by this unrelenting war. Our bracelets are handmade in Uganda out of reed that is dyed black. The wire is copper, coated in rubber that is painted for each particular bracelet campaign. Once sold, the money raised helps sustain valuable programs on both sides of the globe. Finally a bracelet that comes full circle.
