Something to do instead of napping

I know, that sounds horrible. I'd rather spend all my free time napping too, but we all know that's not how life works. Sometimes we have to wake up and be aware of current events!

So, here's something to do. Educate yourself on the California-based organization Invisible Children, it's Kony 2012 movement and the war against the Joseph Kony, a leader for The LRA. Based in Africa, Kony and his 30,000+ (in total) LRA rebel army has been torturing, raping and abducting children and millions of people for over two decades. I'll include a few links that I think will help you formulate a good, educated opinion on what Invisible Children is trying to do!

1. Invisible Children's Facebook Page

2. Inivisible Children's Kony 2012 video (29 minutes.. but worth it!)


4. An OPINIONATED Critical Perspective Blog

5. "Joseph Kony and Crowdsourced Intervention" A Critical Perspective Article by Jack McDonald

America has finally woken up from it's nap and Uganda is finally getting recognition.. but is it the right recognition and will it be successful?
