Yes I know it as nothing to do with Poker, but it is far to important to be hidden away in the Shed!

Please take time to watch!

    Ok as I dont know how many people will take time to watch the video so here is a brief synopsis.

    The people of the world Unite!

    30,000 and counting, children abducted!

    The girls made into sex slaves.

    The Boys forced to kill and mutilate! (sometimes there own family)

    A leader that does all this to stay in power!

    ofc he is a pretty big POS but the people behind this video  'invisible children' seem kinda dodgy... only ~30% of total donations are actually given by them to others. whereas i think red cross is at 99%+

    there is a picture of the three founders of this company posing with assault rifles & RPG's with the ugandan army (i think some of the money they give goes to arming them).

    if you feel moved by this & want to give money to help i would really suggest doing it via a different charity

     Ok. I dont know how trust worthy they are with money, but the awareness they have brought to the world is just phenomenal! Its just a shame it as took 8 years to get anyone to listen! (been going on 26 years in all)

    +1 to this.

    Some charitable ogranisations really do take far too much of a slice for themselves.

    Be very careful about donating to this - all is not quite what it seems.  You could be paying for a war.
