Invisible Children

From all the information I have seen with this organization, I believe that they are doing a great job on informing everyone about this cause. The organization has done everything to get the word out about the cause. With all this traffic on their website and documentaries they have released it really paints a picture of the awful things that are happening in Uganda. With all of this information that I have been exposed to I don’t really see any progress to prevent the attacks and abductions from happening. After a few clicks on their website it seems as though the efforts that this organization has done has helped but not in the way that I was expecting from all the publicity this organization has around the world. There are so many different organizations that are helping other countries in different ways, too me invisible children is just another organization that will ultimately fade into the background after its time at Deerfield is done. The invisible children movement is great but, what distinguishes itself from every other organization trying to change the world? This is the question that I keep asking myself while I see all of these fundraising efforts to “change the world” and by this time next year all of this talk of this organization will die down just as it did for last year’s school chest fundraiser. Personally I would love to see an organization that we raise money during school chest that tries to solve the problems within our own country first before going outside the borders of the US. The US has more than our fair share of problems and I believe that organizations should start from within its own borders before jumping at the chance to solve everyone else’s problems while we haven’t figured out our own.
