<h3><span style="font-size:10.0pt">CONGO WEEK: Breaking the silence.</span><span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-size:10.0pt">October 16-22, 2011</span><span></span></h3><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">The
 Congo is the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world today where 
nearly 6 million people have died since 1996, half of them children 
under 5 yrs old and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped all 
as a result of the scramble for Congo's wealth. The United Nations said 
it is the deadliest conflict in the world since World War Two. However, 
hardly anything is said about it in the media. Can you imagine 45,000 
people dying each month and hardly a peep from anyone in the age of the 
Internet? This is literally what has happened and continue to happen in 
the Congo. There is a media blackout about Congo and no worldwide 
resolution to end the conflict and carnage there.</span><span></span></p><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span> </span></p><p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Monday, Oct 17: </span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Welcome Potluck . 6-8pm at the </span><span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=wsasy7cab&t=475ld6hab.0.phva5shab.wsasy7cab.2925&ts=S0674&p=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%3Fq%3D1001%2BS.%2BWright%2BSt.%2C%2BChampaign%2C%2BIl%2B61820%26hl%3Den%26ll%3D40.107373%2C-88.229291%26spn%3D0.007697%2C0.021007%26sll%3D37.0625%2C-95.677068%26sspn%3D32.66491%2C86.044922%26t%3Dh%26z%3D16%26iwloc%3Dr4" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">University YMCA  </span></a></span><em><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Bring a dish or $5.</span></em><span></span></p>
