Northern Ugandan Conflict

While in college I traveled to Uganda for a conference on globalization. I made many friends and ended up dating a man who had spent some time in the LRA. He had been captured and was only able to escape after being shot and left behind during a raid.

I may have seen some of you at displace me. All wars affect us even if we do not know those who suffer.

Trash Dump Communities

Although I have not been able to physically participate yet, my soul mate has gone on several trips to Nicaragua to work with the trash dump communities. I have assisted him in raising funds and supplies to bring with him. We are hoping to travel down together in January, and would be please if others are interested in joining us.

We will be at the bennefit concert in New York on the 13th. Hope some of you can join us.
