Martijn van der KampAwesome Bridget! I think it is really cool that you are willing to take some serious effort and risk to report on the situation in Congo, while at the same time realizing your personal dreams!! Also, I thought your video clip is absolutely great, well done!! Will follow you on Facebook to keep track of your stories. All the best and get back safe and sound. Martijn13y

Tina O'DonnellI want to encourage you, Bridget, in this important work, particularly that in the Congo. What a tragic situation. Greater transparency is needed. The media have a vital role here. Good on you. Look forward to hearing how you go. Love, Tina O'Donnell13y
Melissa EliasHi Bridget, I have just supported you by purchasing one of your perks. I'll be over in Africa in October (Nakaru, Kenya). Although my purpose differs greatly from yours, I really would love to see independent journalism. In light of the humour referencing your point about the topics covered in news, here is something that made me giggle, quite relevant to your point. http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/22/denied-at-drive-thru-woman-brings-horse-inside-mcdonalds/ Best of luck in Congo and I look forward to following your journey and your report out.13y

This is the big one. If you donate this much, you get a chance to act as my editor. That means you can choose any story you want me to report on in the DRC and i'll do it, just for you. You choose the medium- radio, video or print. After that it's yours. Read it,publish it, keep it under your bed, paper mache it, turn it into a small paper cape for your bedside lamp. It's yours.
