Invisible Children

If you have never heard of Invisible Children, check them out. Basically, it is an organization dedicated to helping free child soldiers held captive by one man named Joseph Kony in Africa. He invades villages, kills parents, and takes the children to be sex objects or soldiers. Often times, he makes the children kill their own parents.

So far, there has not been much action from the government to try and stop this man and more and more children's lives are being ruined. Invisible Children has done an amazing job getting the problem out there in the media on shows like Oprah and others as well as setting up alarm systems and counseling centers all over the parts of Africa ravaged by Kony.

Recently, President Obama said that he would finally help with the efforts. Watch this video:


So DO IT! Take a picture, upload it onto Facebook and Twitter. Then email it to president@invisiblechildren.com. Like he said, this is not a political issue, but a human issue. Please help us help these children!
