A PROJECT WORTH SUPPORTING

Recently, I have gotten to know a new, exciting project to help Congolese who live in the same area as those most amazing of our near cousins, the bonobos (the "make love not war" chimpanzees). A partnership now links Falls Church, Virginia to a remote village of 19,000 people in the Congo called Kokolopori. And, as part of the partnership, we are looking to support people in Kokolopori through micro-credit. This program is run by the Bonobo Conservation Initiative, an impressive organization working in the Congo to protect bonobos.

I urge people to look at these websites and give generously to help people in Kokolopori.

And if you live in the Washington, D.C. area, think about attending the fundraiser on April 19 from 6-8 PM to launch this micro-credit fund for Kokolopori.

Thanks,
Tony
