This report describes the work of Peace Corps Volunteer Connie Hedrington Kamara with CPTAFE, a non-governmental organization in Guinea whose efforts are aimed at stopping the practice of female genital mutilation in a context of culture, tradition and religion. One of the major projects undertaken was the production of a video, created by and for Guineans to promote a better understanding of the beliefs that perpetuate the practice of female genital mutilation within the Republic of Guinea.
