Raise Hope for Congo

There are many good sites out there on the situation in Congo. One that I really like is Raise Hope for Congo and it has lots of good information including a call to action from YOU (this is a campaign of the "Enough" Project which is working to end genocide and crimes against humanity in other areas as well). Its difficult to come up with a specific 'action' that YOU could actually do, I know this. That's why I'm trying to redirect attention to what Georges is doing to help- hands-on, results-oriented, and grass roots assistance that a native Congolese is actually doing (more on Georges' project in Amadi, Congo and how you can support his efforts in my next post..)

If you're still not sure how impactful this conflict is, I urge you to spend some time on this site, or at least watch the short video below briefly summarizing the situation. You can also learn more about why this ongoing war is happening and what you can do about it. If you decide you would like to support one of their 'on the ground' organizations working in the Congo, I would ask you to please consider checking back on this blog to see how you might be able to help (eventually donate to) Georges program he has already begun which includes direct assistance to boys and girls in Amadi.



Thank you and please check back this week for our next post which will give detailed information on Georges "Hope for Amadi" program.
