heal africa


September 11th, 2007

instead of going to burning man, my friend eric, went to help set up a network in a hospital in the Congo as part of the www.healafrica.org project, and also to do work on a foundation that another of my friends, devon, helped to set up: www.gomastudentfund.org, which works to provide education for Congolese children who have been victims of war, genocide, poverty and AIDS.

a film, LUMO, which follows the story of a few of the civil war’s rape victims who are at the hospital for a series of surgeries and counseling is showing on PBS next Tuesday (9/18) at 10pm. preview/check local listings.
