Thank you Leah for exposing this shocking truth. May you succeed in your mission to bring hope to the women of the Congo..
your donation access is not working.
Please fix
I will be spreading the word and want to help gain donations for you.
Thank you for being a voice and advocate for the beautiful children and strong women.
I heard the interview with Leah on Public Radio International’s “The World” last night and was moved to donate in honor of my wife. However, when I click the “Donate” link, I get an error message from PayPal, even though I have a PayPal account. Can you help me navigate this?
Leah: I work as a church planter in upstate New York. I am the pastor of a small church for college students. I heard your interview on the radio (BBC) and was heartbroken by your story.I have a deep desire to help with issues such as these. I am doing more research on the history of the violence in Congo. I am interested in possibly supporting your work, in some small way, financialy, and perhaps talking before my church, to consider giving some financial support as a church to your work. I would like to hear from you, and would like to learn more about your work, and what is going on over there in the Congo. Feel free to email me. You will continue to be in my prayers.
Dear Leah,
When I hear the shocking stories of the appalling atrocities currently taking place against women and children in the Congo, I feel such a deep and sickening anger that it has been allowed to go on for so long and those who hold power all over the world have taken so little positive action. I simply cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to live under these conditions. I have cried many tears of sympathy, of rage, and in total frustration that there seems to be so little I can do personally other than help to raise awareness. You are doing so much and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking on this cause. What can I do? I will donate what I can, but I want so very much to do more.
thank you Leah for talking of the horrendous experiences women are facing in war torn areas of the world, and especially in Eastern Congo. I heard you on Women’s Hour and i would like to donate to your charity but not over the internet - is there an address i can send my cheque to please?
Please can you let me know when you are able to receive contributions by direct debit - I would like to support you modestly but regularly.
I heard the end of your interview on radio 4 and I was totally speechless by your report. I heard a pain in your voice that touched something deep inside me. God bless you and all whom you serve in your mission. You are truly an Angel.
I would love to offer my time to your charity. I am a writer/magazine editor and may be of use to you as a press release writer or with help in raising awareness. please let me know if i can be useful to you. I was so moved by your interview on radio 4 today.
kind regards
deb
Thank you for bring this atrocity to light in such a simple, human way. All the survivors are so brave and it is very touching how they support each other, cope with the unimaginable, and even try to make things better for the next generation. May your work bring much hope, support and change to the lives of these women and the children, and to the world that it touches, and may the atrocities ultimately stop.
I listened to your interview on Woman’s Hour yesterday. I would like some more information on the charity’s activities in the Congo. Do you have your own staff out there yet, or are you amalgamated to another agency? What specific ideas do you have for aiding these women or is it all in an early stage as yet?
Many thanks and very best wishes,
Rebecca Watson
Dear Leah
Having recently watched the film ‘Hotel Rwanda’ I then read your interview in one of the Sunday newspaper’s magazines - I am appalled by the atrocities that are being committed against these women and children and cannot believe that this is happening and the world is taking no notice!!! I am currently in my final year of my law degree and am interested in human rights and in particular woman’s rights - I will definately be spreading your message to all my friends and work colleagues. How else can we help?! I have tried to send a donation but the link does not appear to be working at the moment. God bless you!
Dear Leah,
I feel compelled to write and tell you that I am deeply touched by your article in ‘You’ magazine(15/02/09). Only the night before I had recorded and watched the film ‘Hotel Rwanda’ and was in tears over such hatred for human life and the atrocities that are still going on in this so called ‘civilised world’! I would like to get involved in your charity and would like details of how i can help you? I will pray daily for those people who are still suffering each day and for the rebels who continue to cause such destruction and despair to one another.
God bless you and keep you strong.
I read the article in You magazine. Those poor women are in my thoughts, God love them.
i have boxes of clothes my little girl’s grwoen out of and I would like for it to go to the children in Congo that need it.
How can I do that?
I too have tried unsuccessfully to make a donation via the website.I telephoned Leah on (44) 07947 308217 and will be sending her a cheque.I did point out that others had a problem donating.
Dear Leah, on reading your article on the women in Rwanda i was so moved. We all live in our own world of looking after our children, working and so on. My children have all grown up now safely and are living lives of their own. When i think of these poor women I can’t put into word how I feel. I would really like to help but need guidence. Please let me know what I can do to help you support these women.
I really appreciate the work you are doing being the voice of these voiceless women. I will support you in any how.
Leah,
I don’t even know how to say it: as i read all the comments, everyone has said it so poigantly and heartfelt. It hurts to know others in the world are suffering so greatly and you feel helpless to help. My first thought was to use violence with violence. Arm the women so that they can at least protect themselves. Then i thought, provide them with protection, then i thougth talk to the rebels… i don’t know which is the best solution. Maybe all of the above, but i feel powerless to help. As a songwriter, i can put this story to song but at some practical level there has to be a physical intervention, how can we help? What do you believe is the best solution(s)?
Just wanted to say I read the article in Look magazine and was so moved by the work you are doing. It makes all my problems seem ridiculous and petty. My thoughts are with you and the women you are working with. Stay strong and stay blessed, the world needs more women like you!
I just wanted to tell you how amazing I think you are! I’ve read your interviews and artikels in diffrent places and it’s horrible! I feel the need to give you my support and ask what I can do to help?
I really hate how the world is in many parts and I need to do something to make it better!
This is one of the worst things I have ever heard of and I think that what you are doing is fantastic! You are a true inspiration and the world would be a better place if more people were like you!
I just read your article in the LOOK! magazine that I never buy and the effect of just one line made me come here. It is atrocious “I met children as young as three months old who had been raped”.. I mean that just tears my heart out.
What you are doing is incredible!
Well done, definately an inspiration of the highest order!
Dear Leah, I read your article in Look magazine and had to make a comment on your page. I found the article absolutely heartbreaking to read, and although I already knew about the conflict in Congo; the raw detail in your stories made me cry.
I think what you have done is fantastic and I truly hope all of the women of Congo who have been so unfairly brutalised can find some kind of peace.
It sickens me that there are people in the world who can inflict such pain on innocent people. I think the major power figures of the world need to stop focusing on such insignificant things, and look at a place that has been in conflict for years and is still suffering terribly!!!!
These people don’t want a lot, they just want the basics that British people take for granted everyday.
Leah, I wish you the best of luck in your future work and hope your charity gains more recognition.
I have just read your article in “Look” magazine and found it so very upsetting to the point I had to write to you.
Words cannot express the horrors of the situation in our so called civilised world and I am amazed of your bravery in returning to help these women and children.
My heart goes out to you and all those who have suffered from the attrocities.
I would like to help financially but also on a practical level if possible.
