Friends of Quaker Congo - Martin Gilbraith Dear Friends, Quakers from Manchester and Warrington AM and Cambridgeshire AM are working in partnership with Quakers in the Eastern part of the DR Congo. We are trying to raise really useful amounts of money so as to support the hospital, trauma clinic and micro enterprise projects run by women. We have a web site on which we post updates about how things are going and would like to invite all those interested to sign on so that you receive these updates. Please visit us at http://www.quakercongo.org.uk to see what's new - updates and additions this month include: news - news items from Mkoko Boseka on developments within CEEACO, and from Janet Gilbraith on fundrasining activities of Cambridgeshire Area Meeting donate - we have now raised £11,160.47 toward our target of £27,000, largely from Quakers in the Cambridgeshire and Manchester & Warrington areas but with a substantial contribution from Quaker Peace & Service Trust New Zealand. So we are well on our way, but we have £15,839.53 still to raise! downloads- Quaker Congo Partnership' s A3-size poster and A4-size, 3-folded leaflet are now available to download in pdf, to print and use for local publicity where you are - for higher resolution versions please contact us links - new links include 'Rape in a lawless land', a powerful video report from the Guardian of the testimony of women and girls abused by marauding militias in eastern Congo; Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), who estimated that 75% of the rape cases it dealt with worldwide were in eastern Congo; Tim Butcher's book 'Blood River', and Thierry Michel's award-winning film 'Congo River' If you come across any sites that you think may be of interest to our visitors, please let me know to suggest that I include new link.
