Charlie here (the guy behind it).

I would love to hear any ideas you have that will help the girls in Nigeria. Not being sarcastic there. Would really love to hear them.

In the meantime, keep in mind that it isn't a zero-sum game. Helping kids in Uganda to get a solid education is far from the "saddest thing" about this.

I would say the most effective thing would be to use the internet and social media to raise awareness, thus forcing western governments to get involved. Not knowing where you are paying taxes, I can assume you probably contribute money and legitimacy to some armed forces who can fight this terrorist organization.

This is the only way.

Get on a plane, go to Nigeria, and get to work. You may be killed in the process. Good luck.
