This country receives vasts amounts of financial aid from EU countries but the money ends up in the pockets of your leaders.



After the CH fiasco I don't think you will have any luck finding people to support this video.

This video is going viral on facebook right now, it has the support of world leaders, cultural leaders and everyday people all over the world, even other children.



Put your family in this situation, how would you feel and what support would you expect?



Try watching the video properly, the main aim is not fund raising (obv. they do need funds to continue some of their works, as you will see) but to get us to write to our governments, add our names to their site and to raise awareness.



Everyone should be aware of what is happening, ignorance is only bliss until something happens to our families or friends....

Why should we write to our Government when they are fully aware of these situations that is why they send the aid in the first place.

Cut and paste the above link and a sense of perspective may obtain. I am not saying that a man who has been arrested for masturbating in public whilst naked, inebriated and smashing up cars - causing him to (as we speak) be institutionalised in a mental health facility to assess his mental state (I would think even a layman, hearing the way he speaks on the film, would work out he is clearly a bit flaky - NOT the content per se - but his response to same) has no credibility - but...

“Step forward Invisible Children Inc., self-appointed saviours of central Africa’s children. Even their name is problematic. The 'Inc.' bit at the end implies a company, which they’re not. But for a non-profit they do have a very shiny headquarters and an impressive fleet of branded vehicles, judging by what we saw in the video, and an unimpressive record when it comes to making your donations count – only 32% of the money they receive goes to direct services in Uganda, with the rest being spent on film production, staff salaries, and that shiny headquarters.”

Unfortunately so called charities in the western world are businesses with street collectors/employees being paid salaries/bonuses depending on what they earn for the charity not to mention the MD's that are on 5 figure + salaries with other benefits like company cars expenses etc.

I now will not give money to any charity but will give in other ways.
