So I have been following this blog about Odette & her girls in Rwanda. It is heart wrenching to hear about her daughters who are still in Rwanda; they're working through the political red tape to get her girls with her in the US; but this can take years.
Odette escaped Rwanda and survived the violence of the genocide. She is a war widow with two girls, Grace & Lillian. She has been working here in the US and doing everything she can with the help of Jen Lemen, attorneys & hundreds of contributors; to get her daughters here safely with her. Her oldest, Grace; has suffered from malaria and TB; she has recovered but their health as well as their lives are always at risk. This blog always tugs at my heartstrings. Read it and if you can help them in any way, please do. I know money is tight for many people this holiday season; but the best gift you can give anyone is help.
If you're interested in checking out another great non-profit group you should really check out Hope Aid. This non-profit organization was started by my very ambitious, and wonderfully talented friend; Ginger. This organization to steal a line from her, "is about developing nations through sustainable development."
