Kony 2012

We live in the age of connection, the age of knowledge, the age of internet. It's a strange thing, how much we know about people thousands of miles away.

This video tells the story of Joseph Kony. Heard of him? Probably not. However, he's number one on the International Criminal Court's Worst Criminal list. Why? He abducts children and forces them to do what he says. He forces them to kill, sometimes even to murder their parents. They become soldiers and slaves.

So why has no one done anything? Because no one knows. But we're in the age of internet. I'm writing this blog post and I've already shared the video on Facebook. It's easy to spread the word. And that's exactly what we need.
