There's a very good chance that while they do help some Ugandan children in some capacity, a large chunk of the donated money doesn't go anywhere but their own pockets. They're playing on how Americans constantly feel some bizarre need to help less fortunate people in other countries but ignore the problems in our own...and how gullible people in this country are.
My philosophy regarding foreign affairs has always been to fix the majority of the problems here before worrying about other people. If by some cosmic chance a massive tsunami rips into Uganda, then by all means send help. But what a lot of people don't seem to understand is that Uganda probably doesn't want American involvement in their country regarding this issue in the first place.
Does it suck that kids are being forced into military service? Yes. Is there really anything we can (or should) do about it? That's very debatable.
The only way it will end is through military intervention...and Americans are very quick to forget that the last major US military operation was not very popular.
