Something very special is building up between two places very far apart from eachother and someone very special is behind all this. I have only “met” Rebecca Pearson by email and I believe one line that she wrote sums everything special about what is happening in our little place in the labyrinth of cyberspace:

“I am in this for the long haul…”

Rebecca has initiated a partnership between the schools in Mutsora and Mutwanga and St. Stephen’s & St. Agne’s Schools in Alexandria, Virginia. I personally, would have a hard time putting my finger on a map in either of these places in the DR Congo and in the USA but this is exactly the kind of thing that kicks me about the world wide web! People that care can connect to others anywhere in the world and people who care can reach out and help any place in the world that need a helping hand.

The BIG NEWS is that Rachel, friends and the schools recently held a fundraiser and being as humble as she is, mentioned in passing that they raised between $6,000-$7,000 USD!! What more can we say except that we are in this for the long haul with you for the children of eastern Congo, and the gorillas.

Hope you had a wonderful honeymoon with your lucky man, Franc and we look forward to hearing all about the conference organised by Congo Global Action.
