Harmony Brown, Executive Director of Africa New Day is on the show today. The mission statement of Africa New Day is:

Transforming Congo from within through education, advocacy, and economic development.

Fighting violence, poverty, and inequality in the Congo through education, advocacy, and economic development.

Africa New Day is a non-profit determined to end the cycles of violence, poverty, and inequality fostered by lack of knowledge, bad governance, and the absence of opportunities through sustainable and long-term solutions.

Congo is a complex place with a long history, much difficult to face.

The slave trade, colonization, exploitation of resources, wars and political unrest have ravaged the DR Congo for centuries. The people and the land have suffered greatly over the past 500 years.

Despite centuries of exploitation and suffering, there is hope for the people of the DR Congo. From within, the majority of people are eager for peace and stability. There are foreign and domestic efforts to invest in economic development, improved education and healthcare, and environmental advocacy–resulting in transformation across the Congo.

Harmony graciously offered us a couple ways to get involved, right now and right where we are. Here are some more examples. If something stirred in you, during today’s episode and you want to explore further opportunities to be involved in this wonderful organization, consider these ideas as well:

Host a fundraising or awareness event in your community, invite our US team to speak at your school, conference, church, or podcast, or become a volunteer.

Thanks for listening!

Grateful,

Carrie Ellen
