While in Kasongo I stayed at the Catholic diocese, which was a lovely spot with well-kept grounds and aging but classic buildings. One morning I walked in the area around the diocese. This is what I found.
When in Kasongo in May 2012, I had the opportunity to visit the well-financed Catholic school. The conditions there are much better than the average school in the Congo. It was great to find a place of hope in the eastern Congo.
At the same time I was in Kasongo with the Military Court, the civilian court was also there to run criminal trials.
This photo shows a man charged with sexual assault standing before the court.
As my friends and I would sit in Place John, we continually admired the hard work of the bicycle man.
Bicycles are an important part of life in Kasongo. And since people have next to no money, they must keep fixing and fixing their bicycles. A new one is not an option.
Sometimes the best way to travel is like a bird. These are some photos of such a flight.
Yes Folks. It's time to play everyone's favorite game.That game is SPOT THE ANIMAL. It's the exciting game where you must see where the animal is.
If you do see the animal, then you can take a photo of it.Or, if you don't see the animal, it will kill you. Are you ready to play?Animals in their natural homes are not so easy to spot. That's because there's other animals who want to eat them.
Apparently lots of people like to go on so-called African Safaris. I think “Safari” is an over stated term. Safaris are what Livingstone and Speke and Burton did. What the tourists do is a game drive. That means they (and me) get driven around by a guide to try to see various animals. Even so, there are still beautiful and dangerous animals out there.So here we go. Are you ready to spot them?
