What a strange title for a blog?

If you haven’t watched the news (particularly ABC News) this week – then you wouldn’t know that the DRC has been getting some much needed attention in the American press this week by way of actor – and now activist – Ben Affleck.  After making two trips to the DRC this last year to learn about how he could help – he decided to take a crew from ABC News along for his latest journey into the heart of darkness.

The result is a very moving piece that highlights the need to an end to the conflict in the DR Congo and some much needed attention for the Congolese people.  We threw it up on the updates page – but we figured we would post the story again here – it is worth watching – and especially worth passing along to help people see what is happening in the DRC.

And in other news…

Over the last few weeks – the DR Congo has been getting some attention from our local news by way of the congocast.  You can check out an article in the latest North Brunswick Magazine about Evan Vetter and Congocast.org by clicking here.

The congocast was also featured on the local news (WECT) in a story about Robin Tabbiner and Wendy Merritt and their involvement with the Congocast project.  You can visit that story here.
