Some things We CAN Do About the Congo

I know after today's discussion, some of us were left with the idea that we can't change anything. I want to provide some links with concrete ideas that we can incorporate into the brochure.

Perhaps we need to once again, focus on the small things--primarily the construction of the City of Joy in Bukavu.

Another organization that is doing a lot of work in the DRC is Doctors Without Borders.

As I said in class today, we can't save a nation. But perhaps we can improve the lives of a few women, which, to me, is worth doing this for.
