There has been many speculation over the truth in the leader of Joseph Kony and his motives however I for one believe that this is happening and before it's too late I would like to draw people's attention to the seriousness of the matter.
Joseph Kony is an army leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda and he believes that what he is doing is right. Kony leads a terrible army that is connected with the 'Invisible Children' which is a horrifying attack where Kony sends his men to kidnap young children in their homes and he forces them to work for him, by working for him this means going out into battle and killing the opposition as well as killing their own parents. He also uses young girls as sex slaves for his pleasure and desire and they have no say in what happens. To think what these children would do just to have the luxuries that we have breaks my heart.
When watching the video about Kony, the young man called Jacob said something that will stay in my heart he said that he wishes that he was dead because now he is living he has nothing, his brother was killed and he can remember each fine detail of the killing and he has a dream of becoming a lawyer but without any money to pay the school fees then he cannot fulfil his dream. With this I begin to think of how many children feel the same way as Jacob, they would like to become something but once they are captured by Kony they have no way out and that is their life.
The plan is to make Joseph Kony famous, not for his army to multiply but for people to be aware of what this man is doing and hopefully in the near future be stopped- resorting in a prison sentence. I would like for the world to become a better place although this is not easy it may seem like words but watching the video, pledging or donating some money could start to make a HUGE difference in finding Kony and giving children the chance to have a childhood and to be educated. If only one person sees this and tells one other person then I will be happy because society today is leading by the connection of social networking sites. When one person tells the next this would be spread like wildfire and would generally make Kony famous.
