This will be my sixth trip to the continent of Africa over the past thirty five years. I am very excited to make this visit as part of the Jewish World Watch delegation. After spending the last month reading about the tragic situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I am expecting the visit to be critical to my understanding of the human impact and personal consequences for the residents of this nation. It is almost incomprehensible to consider the scope of the deaths and immense human impact occasioned by refugees fleeing the genocide. When I consider the fact that this tragedy is so little known in the broader world, I hope that my visit will give me enough on the ground experience to speak intelligently and with passion about how JWW might make a difference.
