(Today's post is not particularly amusing. I do this pretty infrequently, please forgive me.)
I remember this time, in my grade ten history class, that my teacher showed us a video called "Invisible Children." It was about this awful man, Joseph Kony, abducting children from their homes and turning them into ruthless child soldiers, and a group of young people trying to make a difference in the world. I remember being moved. I remember crying.
I remember wanting to make a difference.
Of course, that night, I went home, and completely forgot about the issue.
Let's not let that happen again.
Three words:
Make
Kony
FAMOUS
Watch the video. It is half an hour long, but it might change your life, and the issue is important... Plus the film is beautifully done, so the way I see it, if you don't have the time to watch it, you're missing out.
Sign the pledge. It takes two seconds of your time, it DOES have an impact, and it's free to do.
Lastly, here are the posters for COVER THE NIGHT, in case you don't have the money or the means to donate or purchase them:
Otherwise, have a great night everybody. I'll post something funny tomorrow.
EDIT: This was linked to me on facebook. After reading it, I still support what Invisible Children is trying to do, but it did get me thinking, and I always think that if you're going to support or oppose something, it's always good to see and hear both sides of the story.
