You may
feel that villagers appearing on this site seem enjoying life. It's true
that the simple village life is wonderful compared with urban life surrounded
by full of things and information, but they also have wish to get proper
treatment for diseases, to let their children receive proper education,
and to live more comfortably, like we wish so. Following four organizations
have been established by Congolese themselves, and registered at the government.
I am thinking of supporting them any way. Please contact me if you are
interested in them. |
