hello friends!

my birthday is NEXT Sunday, Dec 17th, so i wanted to raise money this week leading up to my birthday for a cause close to my heart. i’ve been a monthly donor for years, because i believe in their mission and the benefit it brings – their work is LOVE IN ACTION, something i talk about all the time with my art and quote sharing. 

Action Kivu is led by Congolese Community-Builder and Educator, Amani Mataboro, and my good friend Rebecca Snavely is the Executive Director/Co-Founder. They have a Peace School, a Community Farm, and provide Entrepreneur Training along with HIV Education in the Congo. all of this is to support a people who have been subject to and victimized by extreme violence, loss of home, child soldier recruitment, and sexual violence.

here is a link to their latest Blog essay featuring the UN Report on Children in the Congo and Action Kivu’s commitment to MLK’s Nonviolence Principle Three:
