Catlyn Mann, junior at Highland Home School, emailed me last week seeking assistance in bringing awareness to the Invisible Children Campaign, Kony 2012. She told me about warlord, Joseph Kony of Central Africa and directed me to the Kony 2012 video.
She also told me about “Cover the Night” which is a part of the Invisible Children Campaign that helps bring global awareness to this horrible crisis. The worldwide “Cover the Night” campaign is set for the night of April 20, 2012. She further stated that people all over the world have formed groups scheduled to assemble on this night and cover towns with posters, pictures, and/or anything pertaining to this event. She is asking Crenshaw County to participate; to help make a difference.
Catyln has asked me for access to a color printer, paper, and 15-20 large sized poster boards. We are glad to oblige.
Catyln is a "teen leader," she has made it a point to set a positive example. She believes, as stated in the "Kony 2012" video, "every person is brought into the world the same way" and that these children did not choose the path given to them, nor the situation or conflict they are forced to take part in.
We are proud of Catyln's stand and ask you to support her. If interested, please contact her at catlynelizabethmann@yahoo.com.
