Heart of the Congo
Its nice to know that I can count on my alma mater to host good, free events to "drop some knowledge" on the city of New York. Tonight, catch a screening of the documentary film Heart of the Congo. In summation, "In the Heart of the Congo, at the end of five years of civil war and 300 miles from the nearest paved road, a handful of aid workers help refugees who have lost everything. Filmmaker Tom Weidlinger lives amongst them and tells their story as they train Congolese staff to run health clinics, mobilize villagers to dig wells for clean water and nurse children suffering from acute malnutrition." Following the film there will be a discussion with Program Director, David Blanc and Food Security Coordinator, Devrig Velly, from Action Against Hunger. This one just may make you cry before its over.
