Kony 2012

I wanted to share a video with you that Jenny sent an email out about yesterday. While it's quite long - 29 minutes - it's definitely worth watching and sharing with your friends and family.

The video was created by an organisation called Invisible Children, and it's about a many called Joseph Kony and the many horrific things that have happened in Uganda because of him. He is responsible for the kidnapping of over 30,000 children who have been turned into child soldiers (who are training to kill or mutilate other people - including their own parents) or sex slaves.

Invisible Children is trying to stop Kony, by having him arrested (he is number one on the ICC's list of most wanted people). To make sure this happens the people of the world need to spread the word and make Kony famous - not to celebrate what he has done but in order for the leaders of the world to take note and do something about this. Through social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, the people now have a stronger voice and can make a difference. So please watch this video and get inspired and involved.
