Fresh produce is a good source of nutrients. Congolese, especially the poor, do not eat a lot of fresh produce. Why? Fresh produce spoil quite fast due to lack of refrigeration. In a country without reliable transportation, it is impossible...Do You Like Your Neighborhood?
I like my neighborhood. I believe Congolese live their neighborhoods, too. Overall, their neighborhoods are more family-centered. Congolese neighborhoods differ depending on whether you live in an urban or rural area. The differences are similar to our neighborhoods. In rural...It's What You Don't See In A Congolese Back Yard
How do you unwind after a day's work? Congo's weather is warm year-round even if it occasionally rains sometime. The late afternoons and evenings are great for relaxing and entertaining. It could be a paradise! Where's the lawn chairs, grill,...What The Congolese Men Do?
That's a question, I am asked a lot by Americans after I tell them about the daily work of Congolese women. So what do they do? Congolese men and boys are the village host. They came out to meet us...The "Big One" Got Away

There are so many things that can go wrong during childbirth. Quite often, it goes wrong for the mother or for the children. And sometimes, it goes bad for both of them. Giving birth in a Congolese hospital or health...What To Do When The Sun Shines In
When the rain washes the mud from between the sticks, the sun shines in. Also, the rain and wind comes in. The noises distract the students, too. Without the mud between the sticks, the integrity of the building is weaken....Mixing Dirt and Water Makes Mud for Walls
If you thought making mud was child's play, you are wrong. Mud is used to make walls on Congolese houses. There is no mechanical mixer. It is really done by hand. It is made the same way as you made...Welcome to Woody's World!
