Kony 2012.... I just saw this documentary today and I have been showing it to all of my students. If you haven't seen it and are unaware of who Joseph Kony is, take 30 minutes and watch... http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/kony-2012/

Did you fact check the documentary before showing it? :flowerforyou:

This is such an important cause for humanity. Every child deserves a chance to grow up and not live in fear. Thanks for sharing, Jo! :flowerforyou:

And what are you doing for the children in your First World Country?

I do many things, actually. I have friends who work in community service positions and I help them when I can. I volunteer and donate items of need to my community here at home. When I have a little extra $$, I research charities and give to those I believe are honest. It's hard to decipher all the messages out there, but I feel like I'm doing my best. I believe in treating humans with dignity & respect, no matter where they live or what their station in life. A little compassion and effort goes a long way. I also believe in raising awareness as much as possible and trying to be informed. I realize that everyone has limitations on how they can help, but there is nothing wrong with simply being as informed as possible and trying to do as much good as you can.
