#KONY2012



Watched this video about Joseph Kony, leader of the LRA in Africa and the kidnapper and raper of many children in Uganda.  Vaguely remember hearing about this on the news last year but it looks like the power of the innanets is really behind this cause.  I know it's a 30 min video but take some time out to watch this.  It's about an plan of action to make this guy the most famous guy on Earth.  With that fame and awareness hopefully will make the world's governments pay attention and bring him to justice for his crimes.

It really makes me feel better to see YOUNG people really out and making a difference.  When you're in college everyone has this immense amount of energy and hopefulness to fix the problem they're passionate about.  But when you're out in the real world that interest seems to wane.  My usually cynical ass was actually inspired by this...definitely will do my part to help the cause.
