Heading to Congo... hopefully


If you're reading this, you've obviously been directed here by... me. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm in the beginning stages of fundraising for my upcoming teaching gig in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) starting in late October/ early November. If you can spare $5 or $10, please consider donating (see donate button at upper right) to help defray some of the costs associated with my trip (namely, the exorbitant airfare over).

The Congo Initiative
runs a university in Beni, DRC where I will be teaching multimedia journalism and, hopefully, organizing student projects to be featured on the Congo Initiative website.

For those in Missoula, Justin Hubbard of the Congo Initiative and I will be holding a fundraiser on Thursday, Aug. 20 from 7-9pm in the School of Journalism's Native American room and foyer on the 3rd floor of Don Anderson hall. Snacks and drinks will be provided, so please stop by and make a donation, if you can. Any amount helps. More details to come...

Thanks,
Anne
