Invisible Children

If the name doesn't say it all. Invisible. Invisible Children is an organization that helps save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children that are taken from their homes and forced to fight in a  war that has been going on for over two decades. 

This organization was founded by a group young men, Jason Russell, and Laren Poole.Who all had the same love for making films and documentaries. They wanted to travel to Africa to film, but what they saw, and what they learned would change their lives, and soon to be  many others. 

The war that has been taking place for so long is located in Uganda. This war has been going on for 23 years. A group called the LRA (Lord's Resistance  Army) Is a military group that attacks the villages of Uganda, capturing the children to fight.  Joseph Kony is the leader of this group. It's amazing what one man can do to change and destroy so much, and kill so many people. 

Kids that have been captured have been taken at such young aged, and of the 1.8 billion, in the past year; 900,000 have returned home.

The main purpose of the Invisible Children organization is to help those children go home, and to keep others from being taken.

Other goals that they have is to protect the villages of Uganda from any futher attacks, they have set up Early Warning Radion Towers to provide the people with some heads up warning them that the LRA could be coming towards them. Also, the arresting of Joseph Kony, and the leading forces of the LRA to help the army become weak.  
In my opinion, I think that the U.S government should have stepped in a lot sooner, so maybe the attacks, abductions, and murders could have been reduced. But I do believe that Invisible Children is a leading force in the fight for peace.
