KONY 2012 is a short film created by The Invisible Children group to create awareness about the wicked man, Joseph Kony. This video is an inspiring one and if any of you haven't watched it as of yet, I'd suggest you do when you have half an hour to spare. This video would make you realize how lucky you are and how much change needs to be done for the betterment of the world.
Many people are criticizing this movement stating that, 'Why spend so much money clearing this problem in a small portion in Africa, and rather not in other places like the slum areas of India/other places in Asia?' Well, I would agree with this too, but I think we need to understand that when something so large is already taking place, it is easier to give your support, create awareness and make a change. Even if this problem is at a lesser magnitude than other problems, isn't it better when we see a solution to this problem? 30000+ children would benefit from this movement when solved.
When this mission is over, a new mission would be bound to take place. This time, bigger and better. But for that, this mission needs to be solved by the end of 2012. For that to happen, the world needs our support.
When the whole world funds for Kony's finding, I'm pretty darn sure we'll find him. When the world stands together, we unite for a cause.
I'd request you to please support the cause and not criticize it.
