I pray everyday about my country. It is painful. It is hard to see these horrible image about women being rape and children being killed. I am working towards creating a non-for-profit org, a very small one... I feel really guilty about me seating here and doing nothing while Ben whose kids are almost my kids' age has been working really hard to improve the lives of million of people in the East of DRC.

Partnering with civil society organizations (like Invisible Children) and individual heroes there has accomplished much. This is needed in The Congo - where warlords have ruled with impunity for too long. I cannot praise Ben and the team which is working on this issue - for pointing the way. Let's follow!
