23. Forget Invisible Children and Kony...

Fri Mar 9, 2012, 05:21 PM

Mar 2012

In response to your subject line, "What's the point of getting rid of Kony, someone else will just take his place," are there any efforts regarding this issue -- within Uganda or otherwise -- you would support?

Do you have any thoughts or ideas, or are there people you are inclined to listen to who are offering thoughts or ideas toward a solution?
