I have been following the work of Invisible Children since 2009. They have proven themselves to be knowledgeable on what is going on in Africa and have really helped a lot of kids there. Criticize Invisible Children all you want, but they have cared about these kids and families in Africa long before you started hating on them. Yes, the founders get paid, but if the work they have done saves even one family then it is worth it-and they have physically and through education saved many students and families. Invisible Children is an inspiration to me as a volunteer with special needs children-i am always looking for new ways to get media involved with getting information across to the general public.
