I regularly check out Rocky's blog (the feeds are on the right hand side labeled muthahood ain't for sissies) and her newest one on cafemom opened my eyes. It talked of women in the Congo being raped by the soldiers that are supposed to be protecting them. I was reading in horror of the brutal rape and beatings of women, young and old and my heart went out to them. I felt that I needed to do something then sit here and mourn for them. I took my credit card out and filled out the information needed. I am excited to see who my sister is and hoping that I can help her in any way I can.

If you would like more information on helping the women in these countries check out this website.
