Hi,
I am just back from Northern Uganda where I have started putting in place a counseling/Art Therapy service in an orphanage for former child soldiers and war orphans.
I have just finished editing a short movie clip I made while I was there. As you’ll see, I am no Coppola or iMovie genius, but I think it’s still OK. Well, it’s real! And have no fear, it’s not all doom and gloom, there’s a fun happy ending!
I’d really appreciate if you could forward it to everybody you know, and if possible, ask them to do the same. Hopefully it’ll help to promote the awareness and the sponsorship of war orphans at POCP.
Here is the link:

Thank you.
David.

One of the main goals of the Kony 2012 campaign was to make Joseph Kony famous. I believe they have succeeded in that respect.
The two videos prompted actual, official policymakers and politicians to make their own video, explaining what has been done and will be done to stop the Lord's Resistance Army.
There is a book co-authored by a woman named Grace Akallo, who as a child was abducted by the LRA, but later escaped and graduated from Gordon College in Massachusetts. Anyone who wants solid information should look it up, the title is "Girl Soldier: A Story of Hope for Northern Uganda's Children".
Thank you for making this piece.

listen your seem like a nice young lady but understand that this message is to educate people about the whole KONY2012 thing.
My message may come across as rude and unpleasant to some but at least they will remember what they read.
Charity? no this is a scam, if you people are happy giving all your hard earned cash away to these scam artists then more power toy you.
but you should know that its people like these that jump on bandwagons thinking they are actually contributing to something good but in reality they're not, They just want an excuse to feel important and special.
as long as stupid hipsters and ignorant liberals exist people like invisible children will always profit on tragedy.
You people need to do some research before you jump on the freaking bandwagon.
And americans should be ashamed most of all, our own country of America is in its own dilemma.
-Inflation is at an all time high
-Thousands are jobless
-Thousands lost their homes to foreclosure and are now homeless
- etc
The American public needs to put their focus on the problems in their own country. the majority of the donations come from teens, and pseudo intellectual college goers who in all likelihood live off dear ol mommy and daddies cash.
The lot of you make me sick

I'm sorry honey but this is indeed a scam.
Let me educate you, I have done an extensive amount of research on this subject.
1) less than one third of the profits from this "campaign' actually goes to uganda and even then that amount finds itself in the hands of the ugandan military (who are notorious for their looting, rapes, drug trafficking, etc)
2) The people in invisible children live a lavished lifestyle and as we have seen the founder has used funds to fuel a drug and alcohol induced nude jerk off party.
3) you children are jumping on the bandwagon without fully grasping the situation, you do not have a full understanding of what is going on.
If you want to help uganda fly out there yourself and help firsthand
4) occupying africa for this is a pro war stance, this is just an excuse to get troops into africa for a much larger military operation.
I can send you research material if you would like.
but I agree with the-sin-of-sloth
-Inflation is at an all time high
-countless people have no homes
-and america is quickly declining
-not to mention the new black panther party is calling for a race war after that whole trayvon thing (dont get me started on that bullshit)
-america is divided

Sweetie, all scams are based on things this serious. They find the worst things in peoples' lives and then they trick them into thinking the money they give is going to solve the problem. The sad part is that the money goes into their pockets.
don't send these scammers money. Go out and work at a soup kitchen one day a month instead. Or give the money to a REAL charity. Or donate clothes to homeless kids. The Kony thing is a massive scam.

There's nothing further than can be said to you. You're hopeless. You just parrot things back at people, hoping nobody will notice that you have no idea what you're talking about : /
Good luck with that.

and wak up lady this is the real world here, its not all skittles and rainbows and kind people working to help others, no we live in a world where people like to profit off tragedy. anyone who want to make millions would gladly formulate a scam like this to prey off the minds of ignorant america.
NEWS FLASH
JOSEPH KONY HASNT BEEN ACTIVE IN UGANDA FOR OVER SIX YEARS!!!
And we dont want attention, we just tell it like it is, we expose frauds with facts and evidence,.
your just pissed because you spent money on their little box of stupid shit that wont help anyone in uganda.
How old are you really? because you clearly lack the intellectual capacity to even grasp the reality of the situation, you just jump on the bandwagon so you can feel a sense of false self worth.
Do some research honey before you go and fill the pockets of untrustworthy "charities"
I pity you

Oh really, joseph kony is active, huh wheres your proof?
I have interviewed ugandan citizens both in uganda and those who have recently immigrated to the U.S.
if you dont have any proof to back up what your saying then your information in meaningless.
You wont tell me your age because your probably below 18 and thus immature and stupid

Kony 2012 is pro american military intervention in Africa and lies about being a non profit organisation. You want to help?- give monthly donations to long term, decent humanitarian organisations such as amnesty international. DO NOT appeal for US military action in Africa. You are bloodthirsty and sensationalist to buy into this propaganda.

As I said before, I'm NOT donating, simply spreading the word of Joseph Kony. Is no one allowed to believe in the good of something by trying to help?

Just please consider the idea of promoting other charities. The premise of their actions is potentially violent.
I apologise if I seemed rood before.

I do, I promote many other charities in my school and do charity bike rides for cancer research ^^ But this one I just felt strongly about spreading the word.
And nono, it's okay, I can understand your point of view, I'm just stubborn in what I believe in.

Don't purchase ANYTHING from Invisible Children. They're shady and have already admitted less than half their profits actually go towards helping this cause.

Thats because the rest of it has to go toward RUNNING the company, it's not as easy as people think trying to organise these things. Now, I'm not looking for a flame war or anything lol, but how do you expect these people to organise large conventions, promote themselves and what they stand for, hire the correct people etc etc, all these things require funding. So in actuality, the money that goes towards the companyi s only helping them further themselves, and henceforth, their cause. So please dont start picking holes in what little human kindness this world has left, and instead, look to better what we have left.

No, see, my problem is that they won't release the information on where they're money goes. I'd be completely cool with it if they'd just say, "Hey, we spend this amount on this thing, this amount on this, this amount on this." But they REFUSE to release that information. Why would they unless they had something to hide? Shady, shady business.

I see your mind is pretty made up, so I'm not going to argue the point further. What I WILL say however, is that even if this one spark can ignite some awarness in the power that the online community in this world has, and raise the voices of those who are willing to fight for a better future, then it can only be a good thing. so even if you dont appreciate the company, appreciate what they are aiming for. Take from that what you will.
