This stop kony 2012 issue has gone viral in most of the social network out there since the past few days ( I don't think Myspace is flooded with the news so I use "most" instead of "all" ) LOL.... and yeah... actually I saw that video link a few days ago because bubzbeauty posted it on facebook.... ( I'd liked her facebook page ) and she wanted us to watch and share ... therefore, I did clicked on the link but to be honest, when I knew that the video was about 30 minutes long...konwing it was already midnight, I kinda ignored it....
Until the next day, when I saw #stopkony on twitter where the worldwide trend box laid... and this was when my curiosity took over and I went through the history box to find the link again.... I wanted to give it a try.... BOOM..... that 30 minutes caught me.... and I got goosebumps all over my hands.... so I followed the trend... trying to spread the news.... on twitter, facebook and also tumblr (I'm a NEWBIE) telling people to watch and share.... I wish to make an effort in the propaganda just like those in the video .... and I could see how people out there responded to this issue...I'm glad they are supportive .........
However,
Today, I saw people saying that this whole thing was a S-C-A-M !!!! I felt like a fool, cheated by some so-called good guys.... but most of the rumours aren't true so I google it to find out .... even watched youtube videos about it.... still, NO CLUE..... NO CONCLUSION AT ALL.... I don't know if it's true or untrue.... I was so concerned about this issue that I'm overwhelmed when I first heard the rumours... I was shocked because I truly believed what happened in the video is still happening now and I can strongly feel that Invisible Children's looking into this problem seriously as they'd showed their concerns for such a long period ....knowing that they're profiting from their donations and that the children only get 25% of it just blow my mind....
In my opinion, I won't say that Invisible Children's a scam because you need money to operate and run a charity or an organization...they still need to raise their families, right?? at least they're making an effort in letting people know more about this... like spreading kony's face, making this propaganda widely spread.... and last time I checked it did successfully raised awareness of peoples all around the world ( no offense, i'm not being sarcastic )..... if you are still suspicious about the Invisible Children charity, it's not the only option here. There are still lots of charities out there doing the same thing... donate what you can afford to the legit one so that you won't feel insecure about your donations....
Don't let your mind clouded by rumours....
with much love <3
