Dorothy Stang

While listening to the saint's powerpoint presentations during class, Dorothy Stang and her mission really stood out to me. Dorothy devoted her life to working in the Amazon to provide aid to mistreated people there. She taught communities to farm in addition to help them build schools for children. Dorothy's biggest project was helping them receive justice from the government. Unfortunately she was killed by the government but her message of hard work and hope still continues to prosper.

Kony 2012

After watching the Kony video, I feel compelled to help. Its crazy how the world is suffering while we are living in luxury. I think this message the Invisible Children organization is spreading is great. Because there is questions over the aspects of the organization's financial situation, I personally just want to spread the word of Kony, rather than give donations at this point. This man needs to be stopped before he does even more damage. He has killed thousands of innocent children and many others live in fear of being captured. No children should ever be put through what Kony is doing to them. I love how the organization has targeted celebrities because I believe that they have a strong influence over the media in addition to serving as role models for society as well. Hopefully people will follow their footsteps in supporting this issue so that Kony can be stopped and the torture of these innocent children will end. xoxoxo
