Visible Children

Invisible Children closed up shop this week. (See news coverage hereherehereherehere, and here.)

Photographer Joop Rubens allowed me to share some of his photos when we were in the throws of responding to the viral #Kony2012 video over two years ago. These photographs demonstrate the same message today.

No one is invisible.

What happens when people have been left out of their own stories?

In your communications about global development (viral or not), can all individuals can see themselves as part of the solution and part of the future that they are building?
