Have a great weekend.

The Ugandan rebel group LRA has been terrorizing the lives of children for several years and many believed efforts against arresting the heinous leader, Joseph Kony would be impossible.

Until now.

The non-profit organization Invisible Children released the ultimate, inspirational documentary that has spread like a wildfire through the internet and social media.

Read more…

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

This is amazing and very motivational.

How can you help?
