#CongoWeek10... When we first started #CongoWeek, we wanted the world to learn more about the Congo and take action. We mobilized communities, traveled from campuses to campuses... with one message: Break the Silence! Join the global movement! On this first day of Congo Week, I take the opportunity to thank the ancestors for giving us the strength and perseverance to stay the course until Congo is free. Whatever your faith... your beliefs... join us in this day of prayer for the Congo. Day 1: Sunday: Prayer/Vigil Theme: Interfaith Prayer for peace in the Congo Action: Host an event to call for peace in the Congo in all faiths
