Having illustrated children's books and worked in animation, Katin has had a lifetime of practicing her visual narrative skills.

According to the IRC, which has conducted a series of detailed mortality surveys over the past six years, 1,250 Congolese still die every day because of war-related causes--the vast majority succumbing to diseases and malnutrition that wouldn't exist in peaceful times.
