I am a sponsor of a sister in the DRC. WFWI should be the framework for all NPOs that work overseas. In addition, to this day UN "peacekeepers" - who are sent to protect the most vulnerable populations - continue to rape women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo and all throughout worn torn nations where they are stationed. Something needs to be done! These women and children have suffered enough. The UN is composed of a bunch of schmuck who need to reassess their priorities.

When women stand together for peace, wonderful things happen. We can change the world, one woman at a time. It's time.

I work as a workshop leader in WWI in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I just wanted to thank all the sponsor sisters around the world for helping women in my country. Thank you so much! I wish there were more sponsor sisters, because Bosnia and Herzegovina need them. I am sure that Congo and other countries need them too, so thank you for every women in the world that you've sponsored!

we all have to help, we cant just act like there is gonna be someone else who will do it, because if everyone did that, nothing will happen nor change

No sarcasm was ever intended. The catharsis for what you are doing is the same as that of a group of people who lived through a genocide standing up at a reconciliation council to point out the perpetrators. It is horrible to talk about what happened, but when you take actions that lead to justice, it is also cathartic. There is an easing of pain and misery that comes from facing down evil. As for me, I am preparing to enter the Foreign Service so that I can help create better policies.

Uneccesarily sarcastic. It is for sure not cathartic re-living the horror as you work on trying to capture it...and anything that marks the event can only be good. What do YOU DO then ??? Just mock ? Don't bother to answer. I not interested.

[grapatin]

Good luck. I hope it proves to be as beneficial to her as it was cathartic for you.
