To get untangled from a web of uncertainty, sometimes all you need is to talk to someone else and get a second opinion. Gaining a fresh perspective by seeking anothers point of view can work wonders to solve problems, create hope, and calm a worried mind. But be careful–while there are many benefits, asking for help can be a little tricky.

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.
Joseph Kony is known as the World’s Worst War Criminal. But no one knows that. Yet.
For 26 years, Kony has been abducting children and turning them into child soldiers and/or sex slaves. He is listed as #1 on the ICC’s ‘World’s Worst War Criminals’, and late last year the US government deployed 100 military advisors on a ‘time-limited’ mission to help the Ugandan army track him down. IF KONY ISN’T CAPTURED THIS YEAR, THEY WON’T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
We need to make Kony so famous he becomes a household name. We need to let the US government know that this MATTERS to us, and that it’s a worthwhile cause. Stop at nothing.
On April 20th 2012, the USA and other countries around the world are joining Invisible Children http://(.invisiblechildren.com/) to make Kony famous by putting up red KONY 2012 posters, wearing red KONY 2012 tshirts and stickers. Our goal is to cover the night on 20th April with KONY’s name on a sea of red, document this action, and send it to Invisible Children so the world will see that we are demanding justice.
Don’t forget to pledge online at www.kony2012.com. If you want, you can order an Action Kit (http://store.invisiblechildren.com/kony-kit.html).
Where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live.
