Site Update
If you haven't already heard of Kony 2012...
This video is trying to publicize the horrific actions of Joseph Kony, who abducts children and forces them to be child soldiers. The goal of the campaign is to have Joseph Kony arrested.
I think it is important. Please watch the video.
You can find more information at https://www.kony2012.com (it seems to be experiencing heavy traffic right now)

I have always loved Africa, I have been well aware of these crimes, and am glad that there is something I can finally do. Let's help all the children feel safe, and make Kony a household name until justice catches up to him!

Before all you well intentioned Aywas players pledge your money, do some research on this! The organization started with good intentions but has turned into a SCAM. There is documentation easily findable by reading the links already posted in these comments and following the links in the blog those links lead to. https://resistapathy.tumblr.com/post/18878818329/seriously-please-dont-support-invisible-children-inc is the blog. A quote from one of those links is as follows: "First of all as a person from Northern Uganda, I would like to thank you, the Martin County Children for your effort to assist the children of Northern Uganda.
How ever i am also sad to say that Organisation like 'Invisible children' have turned from caring organisations to Fraudulent and scam. The directors of Invisible children forgot what they stated back in 2005 and have now turned to greed. Only less than 25% of money they have been raising in the name of the children of Northern Uganda gets there to the children.
The directors of Invisible children have turned this money to become their very personal money. The directors now drive expensive cars and refer to themselves as Movie directors. They have been shunned by all international Northern Uganda associations in Canda, UK, Sweden and even in Sandiego USA.
Associations such as "acholi in diaspora"(canada) Acholi association(UK) Freinds for Peace in africa(USA). Peace in Northern Uganda group(Sweden). "Campaign to end genocide in Northern Uganada)(USA) and many more.
"invisible children' functions are boycotted by many ugandans who are aware that they recieved bribes from General Salim Saleh to focus the suffering of the Northern Uganda Children to the Rebels...rather than tell the whole truth that both the rebels and Uganda government ave comitted atrocities and Genocide againts the acholi people of Northern Uganda..
Northern Uganda members of parliament have added 'invisible children' to their list Of NGO's under investigation for fraud.
They have been requested to publicly declare their accounts since 2005 however untill today that has not been done.
Your contributions are better off being sent directly to the children in Northern Uganda rather than to enrich the directors of 'invisible children'
However we leave it to God to be the judge. Thank you and God bless all of you. "
PLEASE do your research before committing your money to this cause. I know it's marketed as a great cause with good will behind it, but it's not all it seems to be!

There is a very good analogy in this blog for what is going on here. The only reason I'm posting this is because I know just about everyone on this site will want to help those kids and will make donations first, and ask questions later if at all. That's not an insult, but if I can I want to stop these guys from taking advantage of people like you. Slash posted this with the best of intentions, but this needs to come down Slash! Please!
