Eight years ago as a freshman in college I heard about the Invisible Children for the first time.
I was changed.
Learning that children- any child- has to live in constant fear of abduction was heart wrenching. Through the years I have shared the news & have given support, but it is so easy to let life happen & forget. Just like the genocide in Rwanda, people (myself included) consider how horrible the actions were on television & went right back to eating their dinner. Eight hundred THOUSAND people were tortured & murdered over the course of one hundred days in 1994 in Rwanda. Joseph Kony has been abducting children since 1986! Throughout his reign over two million people have been displaced & thousands of children have been abducted & forced into an army or into sex slavery. He is currently the most wanted international criminal.
He must be stopped.
We have until midnight of December 31, 2012. Let's bring him to justice & restore the lives of many. Children in Uganda should not have to go to sleep in fear. Let's give them a chance at a future, an education, an independence! Let's raise a resounding voice for all of the children & make sure Joseph Kony is captured.
