I live in Kinshasa DRC, where I work for Mennonite Central Committee. I will be in Bukavu on February 28 and would like to participate in the run. Can someone please send me information about where and when the run will take place? Thank you. Suzanne Lind email hidden; JavaScript is required phone 0810727106
Sending you and our Congolese Sisters our love, Lisa, we are sending a donation of $125 and the support of 4 couples and one child! Much love, Rae F. from Seattle, WA.
Our Hawaii Sisters Solidarity Gathering is on Maui time…which means we are running late and will meet on March 3rd. But our anticipation is great to hear your stories and take part in your hope.
From Atlanta, GA, 3 people give the Congolese women all of our thoughts, support, and love! The depth of strength and resilience of the Congolese women is inspiring.
From Tucson, AZ, 6 women and 3 men send you love and support. Though we can not know personally what you are going through, we admire your strength so much and have great hope for where you are going. Many women can do everything and we would like to join you in your efforts to change the world. One woman at a time. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep dancing in the street! Your joy and love for life is contagious!
From the dearest, small families, to large and small gatherings of friends, to Sunday School classes of 125, to churches and an Indian temple praying for Congo, to marathoners in Dallas, Tampa and Japan, to fundraising NY WonderWomen powerhouses, we are blazing a new trail. We are literally ringing the world with awareness and love for Congo. In Chicago, they’ll run at midnight to be in real time with Bukavu. In NY and in Brooklyn they’ll run in a foot of snow. Hosts so inspired they are having or already planning their next event. This is love both heroic and intimate. So much love! Congratulations to you all! THANK YOU for the power of the love you’ve set in motion in our world!
Anish, Sidsel, Leena and baby Riya all send our support and love today… and every day! Looking forward to seeing photos of the run on FB!
