Jon Williams has added a nice brief argument for why CTO’s should keep an eye on Facebook:

There are 1,000s of developers (or more) developing applications for Facebook, and you can try all of them out. Facebook is truly a technology marvel. If your not checking out Facebook, you may really be missing something.

Child Soldiers in Northern Uganda

Ted Pibil — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 22:27:38 +0000

For the past few years my family has been blessed with the privilege of sponsoring a child in India through WorldVision. We recently started sponsoring a second child in Uganda. However, the crisis in Uganda needs more attention and support.

Since 1987, the terrorist group LRA and its leader Joseph Kony have been violently abducting and forcibly enlisting children to fight as terrorists in its war against the Ugandan government. It is hard for me to even type what these children are subjected to but, for those that survive, the psychological abuse is so bad that they often feel that the only people that will accept them are their captors. They are usually forced to kill (often a family member) within the first week of their abduction to make sure they feel like they have no where else to go.

These children need our help. We will be donating ten percent of our profits to help these children. WorldVision has set-up a Children of War Rehabilitation Center where professional counselors help children overcome their traumatic abduction experiences through play and group therapy as well as one-on-one counseling. These former abductees also receive food, health care, a safe place to sleep, skills training and are eventually reunited with their families and communities.

Please consider making a donation to help the children of war in Uganda. Also, become an advocate for these children by contacting your elected officials to convince them that our government needs to do more.

It may be good, and it may be bad, but it’s important for us to pay attention to what’s being said out there.” - Scott Anderson, HP’s director of enterprise brand communications.
