With the Kony hype all the way through the ceiling, an alumni of a famous school in Hong Kong is starting a campaign called 'I am Joseph Kony'. They changed their fb names into Joseph Kony and changed their profile picture as Joseph Kony, so as to raise awareness. When the host of this campaign quoted the below link from the Guardian, which actually interviewed Ugandans and expressed their concerns of the high profile campaign of IC, he commented 'I just want the world to know Kony, who cares' .
I am largely put off by this 'champion' and I sincerely doubt how he could suddenly claim to be a great herald of the movement while explicitly ignoring information on this issue. Anyways, above is the mentioned Guardian article. it has pretty extensive information on both the pro and con side of said campaign.

My stance is to donate to a charity that is proven to be legit and doing something helpful in Uganda. There are more ways to help people in need, don't hop on the Pro or Con train just yet.
And back to the school campaign thing. Dude, helping people is not just a feel good thing u do to prove yourself ighteous. If you really want to help people, first thing first, learn to pull away from your adrenaline driven emotions and do some research. Or at least don't be so blatantly retarded and tell people you refuse to know more about the issue.
