One of the organization's Amy and I got to meet this weekend at CGIU is called Women for Women International. In particular, we met Christine Karumba, their country director for the Democratic Republic of Congo, needless to say she was pretty inspiring. Upon looking into their website today, I found this 60 minutes video about the war on women in Congo. I will warn you that it brought me to tears this morning, but I feel that it's too important not to share. The last 30 seconds is what did me in, because the women are singing about how they believe their suffering will end in heaven...keep these women in your prayers.
