Nathan Phillips, who will formally begin his freshman year at the University of San Diego(USD) on
Aug. 31, will arrive on campus in an unusual and philanthropic manner.
Phillips is expected to arrive between 5 p. m. and 6 p. m. Thursday on his bicycle, having pedaled
1,450 miles from Astoria, Ore.
Phillips combined his desire to complete a long bike ride before entering college with his interest in
helping the children of Uganda.
He is raising funds for Invisible Children, a San Diegobased organization seeking to end conflicts
afflicting(使苦恼) northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African
Republic and stop the use of children as soldiers.
Phillips had raised $1,540 before embarking Aug.11 and hopes to reach $2,000.
Phillips, who is from Redmond, Washington, visited Uganda during high school and worked in an
orphanage(孤儿院) there. He was also inspired by a presentation by Invisible Children at his high
school.
"I have been to Uganda and personally gotten to know some of the kids affected by the war,"
Phillips said in a statement released by the university. "I would do anything to help these kids."
Phillips' new roommate, Kyle Sharp, has joined him for the last 600 miles of the trip. Students and
other members of the USD community are expected to join him for the last 13 miles.
"Nathan's passionate commitment(恪守承诺) to improving the lives of children more than 8,000
miles away resonates(共鸣) with USD's mission to prepare future leaders to change the world for the
better," Pamela Gray Payton, assistant vice president of public affairs at USD, said in a prepared
statement. "We are delighted to have Nathan as a member of our campus community."
Supporters from USD and Invisible Children will greet Phillips and his entourage(随从) when they
arrive in front of Founders Hall on campus. The public is invited as well.
