They are however rebuilding their lives and I hope we can help them do that I have inserted a donate button in the blog as requested. The Women have wanted sewing machines in order to expand their business for sometime now so that would be a good way to help them. Hi Joanne, yes the women had a horrendous time at the hands of Kony.

Kony must be stopped and I applaud IC for being tenacious and bringing this to the world. I don't think that it will discourage volunteers from helping in Uganda. I did not get the impression that there is war there now. In the video it states that Kony has moved east. That worries me as I sponsor a child in Zambia. I am happy I could email the video to them so they are able to watch out for Kony so he will get caught and punished for his crimes.If people have a heart to volunteer they will volunteer. You might be surprised. Now that your story is out you may get more donations. Why don't you let us know where to donate in your blog and see what happens. Can we wire money to a bank account? Joanne from Toronto, Canada. I wish you joy, happiness and peace! I too am so angry that we are just finding out about this now.

I hope they are pure, driven by friendship with the young boys he met on his first trip to Uganda, as a student. But now, I wonder if there was an impure motive to make commercial / personal gain but piggy-backing on the Ugandan Kony tragedy to promote himself as a film /documentary maker. I hope I am wrong about the 2nd option.

My only quarrel with the producers is that they should have used up to date material as to what is going in the countries where Kony actually is. But instead their insensitivity such as I see it has had unintended consequences for the work that is join on to rebuild these women's lives. I explain why that is in this post <a href="http://www.birdsontheblog.co.uk/invisible-children/" rel="nofollow">http://www.birdsontheblog.co.uk/invisible-children/</a> I absolutely take your point that the video brought this matter to the world’s attention.
