Sometimes I just need to vent.
The situation in Uganda makes me really, really,
really angry.
If you click
here, you can watch a video about the "Lord's Resistance Army" and Joseph Kony. (Warning - it's about 30 mins long and is
quite depressing.) What's going on there is horrific. Absolutely horrific.
I feel like a loser because there's nothing I can do to help at the moment. I'd do their "Rescue" thing, but I can't make the trip to the nearest rally. I'd donate, but they don't take PayPal without a credit card. I'm trying to think of something, but I'm kinda stuck at the moment. If anyone has any ideas of ways they've helped out, please let me know.
Basically, I'm trying to spread awareness. (I felt a little guilty about taking the link out of my siggy, which is part of the reason I posted this thread.) I'm wondering why the heck our government isn't doing anything to support these people. Everything seems to be a "crisis" in the USA - healthcare, education, etc. That doesn't make sense to me, when there's a real crisis going on in Uganda and other countries.
*sigh* I feel better having shared my frustration with you all. Again, if any of you have suggestions (because I know schools have done fundraisers, etc. for these kids), please let me know. I do want to help instead of just complaining.
