He actually did. IC did a lot of good in Uganda & DRC. Their programs on the ground helped bring home and rehabilitate a lot of kids taken by the LRA and do a lot of community reconciliation work. The stateside work was goofy at times but it did its job in raising money for solid programs

not saying there aren’t critiques to be made. But the on the ground programs in central Africa were run by 90% local hires. So I guess if your issue is that some white guys from California helped build a network to push money to Ugandans and people in the DRC then sure. Kids still got saved.
