He was good-natured, loving, thoughtful, loved a good joke, and took his calling seriously. The Congolese responded very well to his personality. They soon learned that he loved and respected them, and they loved him back. Whenever he went into the backcountry he took his shotgun and filled the stewpots of his meat-starved hosts.

Education Congo currently funds transportation for Congolese medical school interns to Kisantu, Kimpese, Vanga and Tshikaji. Only a handful of interns are assigned to a local hospital in Kinshasa. By facilitating the transport of interns to remote areas, Education Congo is not only enhancing their value as doctors in Congo, but exposing them to regions where they may not otherwise seek employment.

We are thrilled that three students our fund has assisted have graduated from the UPC medical school.
