Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13

Clea Koff: Why she kicks ass

• She is a British-born American forensic anthropologist and author who worked several years for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR; 2 missions) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (5 missions) in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and in 2000 in Kosovo.
• She was born in 1972 to a Tanzanian mother, Msindo Mwinyipembe, and an Jewish American father, David Koff; both documentary filmmakers focused on human rights issues. Her parents took her and her older brother, Kimera, with them around the world. She spent her childhood in England, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, and the United States.
• By the time she was a teenager she had decided to study human osteology, which she did first in California. She earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Stanford University.
• She went on to the master’s program in forensic anthropology at the University of Arizona. She completed her masters degree in 1999 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, after combining her studies with working for the UN between 1996 and 2000.
• She was studying prehistoric skeletons in California, when she was 1 of 16 scientists selected to join a small team of UN scientists exhuming victims of the genocide in Rwanda. Her job was to find evidence to bring the perpetrators to trial, and to help relatives to identify their loved ones.
• She captured the events in her memoir ”The Bone Woman: Among the dead in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo” (Random House published in 2004), which shows how forensic science can shed light on human rights abuses. Over the next four years, her grueling investigations took her across geography synonymous with some of the worst crimes of the twentieth century.
• She founded The Missing Persons Identification Resource Center (MPID), a non-profit organization, based in Los Angeles, which is about “essentially linking families with missing persons [in the US] with the Coroner’s Office which hold thousands of unidentified bodies.”

Awersome!  So proud of this young woman.
