Hello Colleagues and Friends,

Many of you expressed best wishes to Lynn True for her work on the
documentary iThemba|Hope, shown by the Sundance Channel last year. One
of the directors of that project has invited Lynn to join his team on a
new film project called: 
HEAL MY PEOPLE it is a film that documents the lives of rape survivors
in the Congo as they work with medical staff and counselors to regain
their health and dignity.   www.gomafilmproject.org 

She leaves Friday for 2 months to the Democratic Republic of the Congo -
yes not the safest place in the world. And, of course, Goma, DRC is in
the north - far from Kinshasa and where the tensions continue. She flies
into Kilgali, Rwanda then takes a 3 hour bus trip to Goma. Once there
she will be hosted in the compound of one of the docs that is part of
the project. 

Bob and I are thrilled with this professional opportunity for her, and
proud of her care, while at the same time, being mindful of the possible
danger she may encounter. This is a time when one becomes grateful for
faith. Trusting she will remain safe is my prayer. Please hold her in
your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

G&P,
Sandra
