We posted some of this info in our latest newsletter earlier in the week - but we thought it bared repeating on the blog!

This podcast exists to bring awareness of the situation in the DRC in an effort to bring about positive change for the country – we’re working hard to be a voice for the Congolese and stir people to action but we DESPERATELY need your help! The more people that watch Congocast, the more awareness we can generate and ultimately, the more funds we can raise for the Julie Project. Here are a few, seriously simple things you can do to help:

• Mention us on your blog/MySpace/Facebook page –send out a note to your friends, become a fan of Congocast on Facebook or our friend on Myspace.
• Copy and paste this into an email and pass it along to your friends and family:

Hey everyone! I just learned about this amazing story and wanted to share it with you – it touched my heart, and I hope it touches yours too. In the summer of 2006, two American women left home to live and serve in the Democratic Republic of Congo, an African country oppressed by war and ravaged by violence against women and girls. They experienced some pretty incredible stuff and you can actually watch their story unfold online visit http://www.congocast.org to learn more.

Thanks again for supporting this crazy thing that we’re doing. We really appreciate all of you taking the time to watch the episodes and pass the story along to others. We couldn’’t do this without you!
