Janette Barber with AmeriCares to the Republic of Congo
I along with my boyfriend, Barry, are on the Board of Directors of an international humanitarian disaster relief agency called The Bridge Foundation. We met the founders of the organization when we were volunteering with another relief agency out of New Canaan, CT called AmeriCares.
While I was working on the Rosie O’Donnell Show, Barry and I were lucky enough to be able to participate in emergency airlifts to the Albanian refugee camps during the war in Kosovo, into Kosovo itself in the aftermath of war and to the Republic of Congo in Africa following civil war there. This is the video from our Congo trip. Barry shot the video. Rosie edited the video and chose the music…and I tell the stories. |
