KONY 2012 - The Other Side of the Coin...

So one of my best friends currently works for the United Nations and spent almost a year in Uganda recently. After having viewed the Kony 2012 video and shared it around, I figured I should get his take before I donated any funds. He provided several good reads on the issue and Invisible Children that merit consideration before you decide if you wish to donate or not. Please take the time to read the following, then you can make an informed decision about how, when, or why you are choosing to donate.
