Kony 2012

The Video:

I think the video got the point across about capturing Kony. The children that are being forced to kill and are being forced into the sex trade need to be saved and for the future children that Kony will take. Some adults say that kids these days don't care about what is happening in the world. This is not true, in my option, teens are the ones who seem to care the most about this cause. I talked to my dad about Kony last night and he told me that he has never heard about Kony and he told me straight out that he has better things to do to worry about what is happening in other countries. He told me that it sounds like a scam to get people to give them money. I believe this a good cause and I will not listen to my dad’s negativity.  

Now What?

I think we should get the entire school to raise money for the organization who is working to find Kony. I could make posters in graphics to put up around the school. This cause has reached beyond the boundaries of our school because on Facebook, everyone is talking about Kony. While I was eating breakfast this morning, Breakfast Television was talking about the video we watched in class yesterday. Our prime minister, Steven Harper, needs to be aware that the citizens of his country are invested in this. We should write letters and mail them to him.  We should make a video on Kony and show it at our next student assembly.
