Hi guys, sorry for the non-knitting related post, but I think this is very important…

For the last five months, we have been running a multimedia project called Condition: Critical which gives a voice to the people living through the war in Eastern Congo – people all too often ignored by the world and the world’s media.

Today is Mother’s Day (I hope all you mothers are having an excellent one) and I just want to ask that you spare a moment for those women in Congo struggling to look after their children, giving birth in really difficult circumstances and having to flee their homes with their families to escape violence.

Giving birth for the 4th time

Please read Congolese women’s testimonies here and then, if you are willing, post about these women or share with your networks. We just want their stories heard by as many people as possible…

Thanks for your help,

Pete
