Congo Rising (www.congorising.org<\/a>)\u00a0 is now a 501c3 company. Here\u2019s our first fundraiser as a 501c3! We focus on:
\nSANITATION<\/strong> (compost toilets and hand-washing units.Compost is for use in tree groves.)<\/p>\n

ORAL HISTORIES AS LIBRARIES<\/strong> in a place with few books and no libraries. (The oral history center will be set up in cyber-cafes which the students will establish. Cyber cafes pay for their education.)<\/p>\n

We hire students to build, man, and maintain the sanitation stations and the cyber cafes, and to take and bind oral histories.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even $1.00 makes a difference! We want to inspire families to serve\u2014from youngest to oldest! Choose your gift and your reward\u2014or choose no reward. $1.00 buys soap and a wash cloth<\/p>\n
