About this listen

 Professor Mutombo Nkulu N’Sengha returns to the US from spending a year’s sabbatical in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and shares his experiences in Kamina, a town in the Katanga region where he established the Bumuntu Peace Institute. The people of the Congo have been long suffering in a history fraught with colonialism, dictatorships, exploitation, and prolonged wars. Some of the world’s poorest people live in a country with the world’s richest and greatest reservoirs of natural resources: gold, diamonds, copper, coltan, and various rare earth metals. Professor Mutombo speaks of his work to provide education, promote health and ethical, sustainable development in his country of birth. He is a tireless champion for peace education, interreligious dialogue, human rights, the rights of women, and social justice for his people. He shares about his many challenges living and working in the Congo, and his unswerving commitment to continue with his work there against all odds.
