I appreciated a skeptic friend and cousin pointing out to me that there is more than one angle, even on issues like child soldiers. I think it is important to raise awareness on both ends. There is something that needs to be done in Uganda (and surrounding areas), but that Invisible Children is not the only organization. There are others (Doctors without Boarders, water.org) actually impacting the day to day in conflict stricken areas. Some of this was kind of disappointing to read, especially because this seemed to be a web trend that sparked interest in my age group.
