We received many of the photos of the recent mosquito bed net distribution in Congo.

We would appreciate your help, once again, to buy more nets.

We added a new video by Current.com - A bit dated (2006) but excellent information about the mining sites in Congo.

Workers make about 25 cents a day for mining with their hands (and being suspected unwittingly to mercury poisoning). Some of the miners are former child soldiers (who were soldiers as young as six-years old).

The Enough Project has two great links for advocacy and action: Please visit our Advocacy Page for information how you can easily take citizen action to help stop violence near the eastern border of Congo. Thank you!

The photo album that Cissa Wa Numbe brought from the Congo for display at the Jazz Concert (March 30th) is now posted on this website as a slide show. Please check back later as we will be adding captions to the photos.

Some of the photos show a little girl, who was suffering from malnutrition. At the end of the slideshow, you can see the distinct difference in her countenance, after weeks of proper nutrition and care by the programs coordinated by UNA-DRC.
