Dear Eunah,


You may have seen in the news that rebel militia have entered the city of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This is a rapidly evolving situation so I will not attempt to provide specifics. Our main office for Gorilla Doctors’ Congolese operations is based in Goma and is now closed.


Our Goma-based colleagues and their families are currently sheltering in their homes and are safe as of 12:00PM Pacific Standard Time, 28 January when we last communicated with them.


We will keep you posted as the situation evolves. We are grateful for your concerns and inquiries; please understand that we may not be able to respond directly.


Sincerely,

Kirsten Gilardi, DVM, Dipl. ACZM

Executive Director
