Hi, my name is Maya Lee. And today, I ‘m going to write an assignment about Joseph Kony, and my opinions about making him famous.

 Okay, you may know Joseph Kony, or you may not. So I’ll explain about Joseph Kony.

Joseph Kony is the head of the Lord’s Resistance Army(LRA). An Ugandan guerrilla group. Kony has been accused by government entities of ordering the abduction of children to become child-sex slaves, and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and two million people have been internally displaced since 1986.(Source:Wikipedia).

The film—“kony2012” is made by Jason Russell. Director and founder of some site called—“Invisible children”. Mr.Russell promised young boy named Jacob Acaye.(Who was kidnapped by LRA)that he will do everything to “stop Kony”. But sadly, many people don’t know about Kony, which I think we should make him more famous that people will be interested in.

 Now, I want to share my opinions about this video. I think that making him famous is a very good idea. This famous depends on “the purpose of this video”. And there’s only one answer—For the Ugandan children who is suffering much pain right now. Some people say that this video is for the resources etc.etc. But we saw the video, and we saw the promise of Mr. Russell. Ugandan children is sacred of what will happen next. And I think we should do whatever it takes to save them from Kony. For that, making him famous is a right way to do it. When there’s something famous, people watch more and more and more. Then, they begins to feel excitements. And in this Kony situation, they becomes furious about Kony, That they join the campaign.

 Also, the best part of Invisible children’s video was the building schools and creating jobs platform. Teach the Ugandan children about peace and give them the tools to fight fair for democratic nation. Mostly located in another nations. They don’t belong where they’re supposed to belong. They’re holding guns instead of books.

 But there are some people who disagree with the video—“Kony 2012”. But they’re just disagreeing because they’re afraid of what the LRA will do. They think that they will be more powerful when they’re out of the hiding place. But, your word can be more powerful than guns. Their army is much smaller than ours. The whole world became one. And the Ugandan children is depending on us. So, let’s join this campaign that will change this world.

 So I think that making famous is a good idea. Ugandan children is waiting for your help, This campaign is not for us, it’s for the Ugandan children. And I think we should keep doing it, for the Ugandan children, and for the world.
