From Gwen..........Just thought I’d pass on a couple of things you might be interested in. First is a link to a story that Anderson Cooper did for 60 Minutes a while back on rape as a weapon in the DR Congo. It’s a sobering perspective on the realities of the people we will be serving with and for.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/01/11/60minutes/main3701249.shtml
You may also be interested in checking out this month’s National Geographic. The cover story is “who murdered the mountain gorillas”. The author and photographer went into the national park in Congo that borders Rwanda and actually sat down for an interview with General Laurent Nkunda, the rebel leader who has been at the heart of all the fighting in the region. Nkunda and his forces control these border lands which include the land where the silverback gorillas live. It is believed these soldiers may have been the ones who killed 5 of these endangered gorillas last year. (Made the cover of Newsweek magazine last summer).
