	Women of the ELCA Get Involved: LWR Soap
		Rev. Ove Nielsen, an LWR staffer in the 1950s, recalls the Wisconsin newspaper story and that such news was not unique.

	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » Forgotten emergencies: An update on LWR's ongoing work
		Before, during and after the South Asia tsunami hit, LWR continued its work in 50 countries around the world, including many emergency and long-term development efforts in areas that are in danger of being forgotten because they have -- at least temporarily -- fallen from the headlines.

		In Haiti, LWR has worked with its partners in ACT, a global consortium of churches, to support affected families and communities in some parts of the Caribbean with emergency food, household items, and materials to rebuild storm-damaged houses.
