2012, "Project Batwa: build house made by wood for the pygmy"
Congo RD – Region Sud Kivu – Bukavu

The little community of pygmys, visited by us is very poor. Once they lived in the forest, as hunters or farmers. Today after some project by multinational for the riches of mineral deposit and lumber industry, the pygmys are pushing to the margin. They don’t have documents, so they can’t have medical care, and there aren’t official of govern that could take care of this people. Dying out, the missionary, are the only one, who are interesting for this people. Our referent for the project is Father Francois d’Assise Basinyize, a docent of the Major Seminary of Muresha.
