Since then, more and more people are now aware of the situation and we can’t look away anymore. Starting today (April 19 – 23), Raise Hope for Congo ...

Last year, Sama Reader N’Gaye sent us an email about an organization raising awareness about Congo we decided to mention in: RAISE Hope for Congo: Activism you can wear. A few months ago, it’s Sama Reader Lissa who commented on Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough? about the great work this organization was doing. She has been following the organization news and events since then and this weekend Lissa sent us an email about a  ...
