I was just googling sexual violence in the Congo and came across your blog. I'm SO GLAD to see that people are responding to this! I am actually about to go volunteer with Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Congo, to help heal/ treat survivors. I was wondering if you would mind posting my website? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get grants since I am no longer a student, so I am launching a personal fundraising campaign. My website is www.adoptavolunteer.com Anything you could do to help me publicize and get the word out would be awesome! Thanks again for increasing awareness of this very important issue!!

There is sadness in their eyes that runs deep as the ocean. It was their spirits that moved my heart. Since the organization I was working with gave these women a chance to make money. I was able to see hope in their faces. Even with all the atrocities caused by the rapes, their are people that are out their working to provide a life for these women.
