Blog #6

For the blog about hope, I read about how Ben Affleck helped the people in Eastern Congo. Affleck visits Congo every year and writes an essay about the violence and devastation there. In his essay he talks about how many people die and all the ongoing wars there. He writes about the problems and how he tries to bring hope while he visits and how overwhelming the issues are there. This article is very moving because we don't deal with the problems that sometimes people half our age do.
