may 2026 bring us closer to a Palestine liberated from zionist occupation, and a Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan free from proxy exploitation. May 2026 see more people gain the courage to make the world a little better than before. May we all remember to tend seeds whose trees we may never sit beneath. Consider donating to/sharing The Sameer Project, or Khartoum Aid Kitchen or Focus Congo. All power to all the people. Happy new year.
Please do not ignore the exploitation and genocide that are taking place and consider helping two people who are from Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan!

Marcelat Sakobi of Democratic Republic of Congo, at the end of the women’s round of 32 boxing match against Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova, made a strong gesture to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in the DR Congo by placing her hand in front of her mouth and pointing two fingers at her temple.

Landry and Agissons Ensemble recently visited Linda Orphanage in Goma, where they prepared food for the children. These things are only made possible by the help of generous contributors supporting Agissons Ensemble. Landry and his team of volunteers are working tirelessly to provide displaced communities with food, shelter, and medical aid. Landry puts extra effort into creating joyful moments for the children, such as arts and crafts or even small holiday celebrations.
Landry's own family has been impacted by displacement. He is supporting his parents, his sister, and her children. His individual fundraiser goes towards his family's needs. He also uses the extra funds to help others in need, like Ezechiel. Landry met Ezechiel and his mother through his volunteer work and learned that the young boy was suffering from a serious skin infection. Landry was able to use some of the money he raised to take Ezechiel to the doctor's and get him medication to treat his infection.
Both campaigns for Agissons Ensemble and Landry's family can be found in their linktree, as well as their socials you can follow to see the incredible work they are doing. Please support them by sharing and donating if you have the means.
