Lewis Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I looked at getting an Action Kit ($30) plus shipping $20!! Even just a bracelet was $10 with $20 shipping Don't think it'll be long before someone starts selling them over here for a bit less shipping though. Whoever made the video is great, v clever!

Groovychook Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Crikey That's a bit steep! I know it's a good cause, but it seems daft that you can only get them from the US... must put a lot of people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I suppose they have to start somewhere! Thanks for posting that Lewis - I turned off initially as it didn't get straight to the point, but I would encourage everyone to be patient. Not only does it highlight the plight of children in Uganda, it really shows that 'the common man', ie the millions of us not in a position of power, really can influence the world for good when those at the top are only driven by commerce and not humanitarian goals.

Lewis Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've done a bit of reading and still support the cause but unsure about the Invisible Children, business and money $$$ aspect of it. I'd prefer to raise awareness by sharing the great video and printing my own posters to put up on 20th April and raise awareness rather than paying $30 for a leather string bracelet... wait 'til they're available over here at least!

jasperaliceuk Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I fully support this cause too. One weird thing struck me though when I watched the video - would like to know your thoughts. The letter from Barack Obama - did it not strike you as odd that it was hand typed on an old manual, complete with mistakes...in this day and age?!

snowberry Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There again it might be an idea to see an overview of the company behind the video via HoaxSlayer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue I think that was added in, the official letter would not have looked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
