After posting about Joseph Kony in my #AlphabetChallenge post this week I kept the research going to see what persons were saying about the movement and the charity Invisible Children Inc.
I woke up this morning to see an article posted on the NY Daily News, regarding the current situations in Uganda.
Read article here: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/stop-kony-video-campaign-raises-questions-article-1.1035502#ixzz1oa5dadsR
It makes mention of the fact that persons have been supporting the movement without doing much research on the situation and I can understand the statement and somewhat agree. I believe that while there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to support an initiative, it is important that persons fully understand the needs of the victims/benefactors, as well as the projects and plans of the organization.
For me, regardless of where Kony is, it doesn't change what he has done and doesn't change the fact that he does need to be stopped.
I commend the persons who have decided to join the movement and end more than 25 years of what I consider child slavery. As a global community we honestly need to think and act on a global level, working together to reduce/eliminate some of the ills in countries and among minority groups that need more support.
So here's the plan....we all work together to make our world better.....but we do our research and ask our many questions! =]
a little bit of this, that and the other
