“We Love You Nate”

Family sets up fund to help others experience the same life of service their son lived.

A terrorist bombing killed Delaware native Nate Henn Sunday while he was working to help children in Uganda. His family wants you to know something about his life and his legacy.



"People ask us how they can help or what they can do, and we know Nate’s heart was for making the world a better place. Nate’s legacy is the pursuit of peace and a future for the children of Uganda and the Congo. We glow with pride at the man he was, and while we mourn today, we will celebrate him forever. We hope people will feel compelled to join his legacy and support others to live this life of service."

That statement's posted on the website for Invisible Children. That's the group Nate was working with in Africa when he died. Henn, 25, was at a World Cup watch party at a rugby field when militants bombed that site and a second site -- an Ethiopian restaurant -- killing 74 people.

Nate's family and the aid group have set up the Nate "Oteka" Henn Memorial Fund. The money will be used for the same internship program that helped shape Nate's "lifestyle of service," according to the Invisible Children website.

"He worked without pay for a year and a half as a Roadie and an intern at Invisible Children...raising awareness about the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony's war and raising money to build schools and provide education to Northern Uganda's war-affected children."
