"The peace process is too delicate..."



Click on the picture to read a very important story about injustice in the Congo. This, of course, is not the time for histrionics, but it is the time to help in whatever small ways we can. I contacted the author of the story and CNN asking for the names of organizations working in the area. I've heard back from both, and what they suggested is listed below. Write down the organizations and share them with other people.

****May 31--There is a follow-up to this story, reporting the Congolese President's response. Click here to read it.****

JKB,

So sobering is this news, and so easily ignored, as the writer says because there is silence when it comes to the world and Africa. Thank you for calling attention.

We must all get involved.
