Existing comment: Helping Others:
Mama Louise's village was attacked by armed men in February 2008. After killing her husband in her presence, they raped her. Her 81-year-old mother and three young daughters also were raped. Two of the girls became pregnant.
Louise spent 21 years in a coma and three months in a safe house, where female counselors helped her get medical care, listened to her and offered emotional support. Today, besides caring for her grandchildren, she provides the same kind of counseling to other rape victims.
