KONY 2012


ENGLISH: After the film, Invisible Children Inc (2004) iniciated a successful campaign, petitioning the United States Government (and the world) for support, Invisible Children Inc in 2012 started a social media campaign to garner support and awareness of the LRA and Joseph Kony; with the purpose of promoting the charity 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him in 2012. The campaign focuses on the website that features a roughly 30 minute video called KONY 2012. The video was uploaded to YouTube on the 5th of March 2012 and immediately went viral all over the internet. After being on YouTube for only 3 days it had received over 38 million hits. As part of the plan, 20 celebrity "Culturemakers" and 12 Policy makers are targeted as individuals to send messages regarding the campaign.
On March 8, 2012, Invisible Children released an official response, addressing the criticisms directed at its organization and the Kony 2012 film
Directed by Jason Russell, was carefully designed to raise awareness of the situation that those kids in Uganda, Africa, are going through for over 20 years; to stop Kony, to stop violence, to stop the killing, to give them PEACE and prosperity; to make JOSEPH KONY famous to finally arrest him; to SHARE IT to unite and help.
“Joseph Kony was committing crimes for twenty years, and no one care. We care.” Luis Moreno Ocampo.
ESPAÑOL: Después de una pelicula llamada Invisible Children Inc, creada por un grupo de hombres que fueron a Africa en el 2003 en busca de una historia, se da a conocer, seguramente despues de mucho trabajo, la campaña KONY 2012, apoyada por Invisible Children, el gobierno estadounidense, un grupo de celebridades, gente de influencia y millones de personas, que de a poco, van conociendo la historia. El film de 30 minutos, fue compartido desde youtube y luego, en todas las redes sociales. El fin es concientizar y dar a conocer lo que pasan los niños de Uganda, que son tomados por la fuerza, separados de sus familias, para ser parte del ejército LRA, dirigido por Joseph Kony hace 26 años, quien no duda en someterlos en caso de querer escapar o no resultar eficientes.
Jason Russell, el director, busca en el film apoyo y caridad para poder dar a esos niños paz y prosperidad, arrestando a Kony este 2012.

Where is Uganda?

LRA: EN: The Lord's Resistance Army is a militant group with a syncretic Christian extreme religious ideology, known for the extreme atrocities they commit against civilians, including killings, mutilations, rape, and in some accounts even cannibalism.The group operates in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic since 2008. It is led by Joseph Kony.
SP: El Ejército de Resistencia del Señor (ERS) es una organización terrorista cristiana que opera principalmente en el norte de Uganda, combatiendo contra el gobierno de dicho país, en lo que constituye uno de los mayores conflictos armados de África. Causantes de miles de muertes y al mando del lider Kony.


Joseph Kony: EN: (50 age) proclaims himself the "spokesperson" of God and a spirit medium, primarily of the Holy Spirit, which the group believes can represent itself in many manifestations. Head of the LRA for over 20 years, he and the army forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them.
SP: proclamose medio directo a Dios; se considera a sí mismo un buen cristiano y quiere que Uganda sea una nación cristiana, aunque a la fuerza. Lider del ejército ERS o LRA en inglés, recluto a miles de niños.
“He is not fighting for any cause, but only to maintain his power. He is not supported by anyone.” Jason Russell.

JACOB: he is an african boy, who suffered by Kony. His brother was killed. He dreamed of being a lawyer but he couldnt. He talks about him and tell his painfull story.

“No one is taking care of us, we are not going to school. We would rather die than live” Jacob.
“My brother tried to escape, then they kill him. They cut his neck.” Jacob.
“When it ends finally by bringing kony to justice, it should be celebrated worldwide.” Jacob.

Valeria Smith

Valeria Smith, the designer of Jackie Smith and Valeria Smith Buenos Aires, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was formally educated in graphic design, and built a career working in brand strategy projects both in Argentina and the United States (where she lived 5 years), before she decided to follow her passion and star designing hanbags. The brand is also in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
After three years of enjoying greatb success in Argentina, she decided to launch a luxury accesories brand carrying her name in New York by opening a flagship store in the heart of Soho.
Smith´s distinctive style is achieved by a combinaton of colours, textures and apparent basic shapes to create objects of desire, uniques and beautiful. Prices range from U$400 to U$1000 in both countries.The collections are designed in Argentina (%85) and Italy (%15).

Valeria Smith Buenos Aires: the place is decorated with furniture taken from Argentina. The neighbors of the shop are Kenneth Cole, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, La Perla, Mont Blanc, Armani Casa, Diesel and Patagonia.
VSBA is a limited edition, for the designer, much more obsessive than jackie.Croco, suede and patent leather are constant. She is thinking of shoes VSBA. The brand, actually, appeared on the Fashion & Style of The New York Times. (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/fashion/17Bag.html).
Jackie Smith: it has six collections a year with four lines each. It is a strategy, to offer new developments to the clients as the season goes. The shop online allowed buyers without geographical access to the designs, or just to simplify purchases. On the page, are included some online exclusive designs.
Opinion: I LOVE Jackie Smith, and now I LOVE Valeria Smith BsAs too! I always see Jackie Smith as the Argentinian Hermés but with more color and fun. Those handbags made an outfit. Just, perfection.
