Letter to Barack Obama

Dear Mr President Obama

I wanted to write you this letter to give my opinion on the video KONY 2012 that has been published online this month.

This video has caused a great bend to the Internet millions of people have seen the video and have shared. But what if this video was just an attempt to distract people from the big crisis that is facing the world? The first time I saw the video I cried, I was very excited to think that there are people in the world that who cares for those who don’t see, but then my classmates began to speculate about the cause of this video.

It could be that the video had more than one goal, apart to raise awareness of the world from what happens in Uganda, also wants to distract people from their own problems.

In conclusion, the problem of the tyrant who collects children is there, and thanks to this video we could know it and we can do something. I hope the tyrant Kony disappear, and this video isn’t only to distract.

Yours sincerely,

Cristina Malirach Reitg
