Raising hope for Congo

On January 14 TheCommunity.com hosted a private salon in Los Angeles in support of the Raise Hope for Congo campaign.

We produced the event with our partner organization Enough, the project to end genocide and crimes against humanity, with support from Enough Envoys Javier Bardem, Emile Hirsch, Robin Wright Penn, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Joel Madden, Maria Bello and Mia Farrow.

John Prendergast, Co-chair of the Enough project, and a widely recognized authority on genocide and Africa, spoke, with actor Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Milk).

East Timor is one of the countries hardest hit by malaria. In this equatorial environment, malaria is responsible for 40% of the deaths.

Paul Simon in East Timor, Day 2

On Day Two of the malaria distribution, we travel into the mountains, to Hatubelico. We are greeted by hundreds wearing traditional clothing, with lots of singing and dancing.

This time an American doctor travels with us, bringing a mobile clinic to inoculate children and treat acute conditions.
