Post #7: Kony 2012 Continued Again...

http://www.hisvoiceglobal.com/blog/?p=1206

Here I have found yet another site, full of great thoughts and information all of us should consider.

Hearing so many different opinions about Kony 2012, I think it's important that we gather as much information as possible, as this blogger suggests, in order to draw a reasonable conclusion.

Don't jump the bandwagon or stand on the sidelines, or boo the organization JUST BECAUSE MILLIONS OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE DOING IT.

We should be able to state what we believe based on information we consider to be valid. Don't just say something because every one else is.

That's how I see it, anyways.

I've made my decision. I do not want to support the solution KONY 2012 offers. I'm considering the fact that it's quite unfair for the campaign to not be a non-profit organization. They've made it to be such a big deal--helping the Invisible Children (which I think is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)-- but they do not disclose significant information such as this: ONLY 30% OF THE MONEY GOES TO UGANDA.

You know what, I really really really wish there was a way we could get Kony, without donating over half our money to the workers. The way I view it is that if the campaign managers really cared about the Invisible Children, they'd be donating all the money to support the cause. Not just 30%.

If you disagree, I understand. Like I've said in every other blogpost about Kony 2012: tell me what you think! If you feel like donating, go ahead!

Overall it's not for the organization or the opposed to tell you who to believe and what side you should take.

It's up to you!

Just make sure you know that you are really following your own beliefs and not committing yourself to something you aren't really sure about.  :)

I think the most important thing we need to take out of this is that we all need to be aware of what is going on. 

Props to a video that really opened my eyes to a new situation happening in our world. I didn't know about Joseph Kony before this... and I hope they find a suitable, effective solution soon. Until then, I'm going to continue to support campaigns that I trust. I Am Silent is something I've participated in. I know the organization to be true to their word, so far. If by supporting things like this I can make a difference, than by all means I'm going to promote it to the best of my ability! At this point, supporting Free the Children is what I can do. We definitely need more justice in the world today, and taking small steps are just fine. If donating a dollar a month to a non-prof is all you can do-- IT'S STILL MAKING A DIFFERENCE! Don't forget that as you decide what organizations and campaigns you want to support.
So, like the blogger of http://www.hisvoiceglobal.com/blog/?p=1206 said, find something you can get involved in. Don't stand on the sidelines and pretend like you don't know what's going on. Do something. Make a difference, because you actually have the power to do so.

These kids need to stop suffering, and be rescued... in a fair, just way. I do not believe the solution the video states will bring safety to all after reading so many articles.

BUT DON'T TAKE IT FROM ME. GO FIND YOUR OWN EVIDENCE AND YOUR OWN REASONS. EITHER IN SUPPORT TO THE ORGANIZATION, OR IN CONTRARY TO IT.  :) 

And, again.

You disagree? Tell me about it. I'm not glued to believing this. Maybe someone can convince me otherwise.
