Peace Love Life Uganda T-shirts, as seen in Iraq

We’ve heard from our friend Brad Green at Peace Love Life, which we featured a few months ago. To refresh your memory, Peace Love Life sells T-shirts where proceeds go to a charity in the place they are inspired by. They have also sold 2,000 shirts since they began the venture and there’s a redesigned website.
   Meanwhile, one of their customers, Michael Stack, is a civilian working at Camp Victory in Baghdad, says Brad. Ugandan Guards work security there and Michael purchased 50 Peace Love Life Uganda shirts as gifts to the men there. The Ugandan-themed shirt bene?ts Uganda itself: $10 from each sale is donated to Invisible Children.
   ‘Many of these men come from the parts of Uganda that have been affected by the war,’ says Brad. ‘Now in a way they work to protect us.’
   Michael’s images tell the story.
