This is going to be a new thing that I start doing. I will share my praise towards a person or group who I believe is doing a really great job of bringing heaven on earth.
Dr. Dennis Mukwege is a specialized doctor who works with women who have been brutally raped in the Congo. He works at Panzi Hospital in Bukavu eastern Congo where he has performed thousands of surgeries on women who have had their insides torn apart from rape. The need is overwhelming in eastern Congo as rape occurs at shocking rates while perpetrators enjoy a culture of impunity. Dr. Mukwege's hospital is a beacon of hope for women whose lives have been ruined by rape and destruction. He has won several international human rights awards including the United Nations Human Rights Prize in 2008.

If you actually clicked on that website you will realize that it is connected to V-day and the Vagina Monologues. V-day founder Eve Ensler visited Congo a couple of years ago and was so deeply moved by what she saw during her visit that she has directed a lot of resources of V-day toward helping those in Congo. If you're still reading she also produced a documentary called The Greatest Silence that I would highly suggest.
