Me sorprendió y gustó mucho la idea de ser nominada para un Versatile Blogger Award por la creadora del blog http://freakyfashionfriday.blogspot.com.ar/ (a la que agradezco). Y como ultimamente no estoy haciendo muchos posts en mi querido blog, decidi elegir mis blogs favoritos y seguir los reglas del "juego", aunque a mi manera..
The rules are as follows: 1) Nominate 10 fellow bloggers that you read regularly 2) Let them know you have nominated them 3) Share 7 random facts about yourself
Antes, quiero decir, que creo que los blogs son super personales, y que todos, a pesar de ser muy distintos, son geniales, y reflejan el estilo de cada autor. Muchas veces leo blogs, y pienso.. por qué no se me ocurrio hacer eso en mi blog? Pero después me doy cuenta que me encanta mi blog, y estoy satisfecha con lo que es. Siempre trato de innovar, y expresar mis ideas de la forma mas personal posible, y con un enfoque distinto al de muchos otros blogs que disfruto leer. Decidi cambiar el numero de 15 a 10 porque mentiria si dijera que leo 15 blogs. Asique aqui mis elecciones, con la ubicacion y el porqué los leo:

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.
