If you don't know anything about KONY 2012, then I'll break it down for you:

KONY 2012's goal is to make the Lord's Resistance Army's (LRA's) violence known.  This quote from InvisibleChildren.com's website states it perfectly:

INVISIBLE CHILDREN USES FILM, CREATIVITY AND SOCIAL ACTION TO END THE USE OF CHILD SOLDIERS IN JOSEPH KONY'S REBEL WAR AND RESTORE LRA-AFFECTED COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL AFRICA TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

This video also breaks it down for you:

I won't sugar coat it, Africa is all sorts of messed up.  I have no urge to visit, but what about help?  Hurting kids, any kids really sucks.  What about the kids here in Twin Falls though?  I'm not saying that there are Twin Falls kids being used in our military, because they are not.  But what about all the kids that need parents here in Twin Falls?

Do you think we should take care of our own first?  Or should we first, take care of those most in need, even if they're not on our soil?
