The Democratic Republic Of The Congo (DRC) is four times the size of France, and as big as the United States east of the Mississippi river. Foreign companies are profiting from the unregulated mining and selling of the DRC vast mineral deposits such as diamonds, gold, copper, cobalt and coltan. DRC holds 80 percent of the world’s reserves of coltan, a heat-resistant mineral ore widely used in cellular phones, laptop computers, video games, jet engines, rockets, cutting tools, camera lenses, x-ray film, ink jet printers, hearing aids and many other electronic devises. The ore derives its name from a contraction of columbium-tantalite, the scientific nomenclature; because of this the DRC is the richest country in the world with the poorest people.

Mothers for Africa has partnered with, Housing for Haiti out of Los Angeles, CA and in Haiti with Haitian (Non Governmental Organization) Light Path for Haiti. We also, closely work with Professor Colia Clark, from the National Program Director for the International Commission of Inquiry on Haiti Renaissance Collation. 

What is happening in Haiti is heartbreaking and the living conditions are deplorable. During our last visit to Haiti we served more than 15,000 pounds of rice, beans, water, medical assistance, psychological help, and prayer for more than 6000 people.  Mothers for Africa took pictures of Haitian families and orphans for our new program to sponsor Haitian families.  We have assigned 8 sponsors, which include me (President of Mothers for Africa). I am sponsoring a 14 year old boy who is severely malnourished. He was unable to walk to our doctor; sorry to say, his parents did not survive the earthquake.
