A Broken Heart That The World Forgot

  • Mood: Unheard
I ask all of my DeviantART Watchers to please read this.

Recently, I watched a very sad documentary on the war in Northern Uganda (Africa) and about Joseph Kony's child soldiers called Invisible Children. They are invisible because they are not heard; if fact, few people actually know about it. But this story works to motivate. WEBSITE URL: [link]

HELP TO RESCUE JOSEPH KONY'S CHILD SOLDIERS.

These children were stolen from their homes at very young ages (maybe about 6-7 years old), their family killed in front of them if they didn't obey, and taught to steal and kill.

EXCERPTS FROM THE WEBSITE:
"We use the power of media to inspire young people to help end the longest running war in Africa. Our model has proven effective, and hundreds of thousands of people have been called to action through our films and the volunteers that tour them.

We are made up of a tireless staff, hundreds of full time volunteers, and thousands of students and supporters. We are young, we are citizens of the world, we are artists, activists, and entrepreneurs. This fall, we are using our voice to ask President Obama to spearhead efforts to bring peace to Northern Uganda. We are mobilizing a generation to capture the attention of the international community, and make a stand for justice in the wake of genocide.

Our approach to humanitarian work is founded in the strength and intelligence of the Ugandan community. We learned early on it was not only important but essential to heed the wisdom of people that had not only lived in the war, but were surviving it. People who would know better than anyone what the greatest needs were and the best ways to meet them. What we came to find is that while there have been many efforts to address the issues that stem from living and fighting in such a long-lasting war, the people of Uganda are asking for a future beyond the conflict.

Their pleas have become our development strategy.

All of our programming is a partnership between those of us at Invisible Children and those in the Ugandan community. We focus on long-term goals that enable children to take responsibility for their future and the future of their country. Our programs are carefully researched and developed initiatives that address the need for quality education, mentorships, the redevelopment of schools, resettlement from the camps, and financial stability."


Your support could make a difference. Help in the rescue of Joseph Kony's child soldiers.
