CONGO WEEK

Around the country, people will be holding events and talking about the DR Congo. This year it is being held October 18th - 24th.

Congo Week is organized as a way to raise awareness of the plight of the Congolese people: the atrocities that are committed against the country's citizens by their own leadership, and things that can be done to change the future for the country.

Please take time to learn more about Congo, talk to people, share what you know, and pray for the DR Congo and the Congolese people. 


Here is the link to the Friends of the Congo's website for Congo Week 2009.

Thank you as always for your love and support of the DR Congo.


peace,
Bethany

ps - here is an article on BBC News about the unrest that is being increased due to mineral companies' lust for the resources in Congo
