The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL and INTIMAN THEATRE. While the war in the Congo, also known as Africa's "World War," officially ended in 2003, millions continue to suffer from conflict, disease, famine, and a rate of sexual violence identified by the United Nations as the world's highest. Lisa Shannon, founder of Run for Congo Women, talks this evening about her work for, and with, Congolese women, her experiences in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and her book, A Thousand Sisters: My Journey of Hope into the Worst Place on Earth to be a Woman (Seal Press). "Through the most honest and sincere portrayal of emotions balanced with an astute understanding of the politics associated with the conflict, A Thousand Sisters gives a human face to war by showing that the beauty and resilience of Congolese women shines through even in the darkest times of war." – Zainab Salbi. For more about Run for Congo Women, please see www.athousandsisters.com. Tickets ($10 members/students and $15 non-members) and information are available at www.world-affairs.org or (206) 441-5910. Tickets at $20 members/students and $30 non-members are also available via the above listing for a 6 p.m. pre-event reception.
