Greg Ramm on “A Complex Crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 30 Years On”

December 16, 2025 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (EST)

Description

Grounded in his experience living in a village as a Peace Corps Volunteer teacher in Mobotu’s Zaire, Greg will describe the current political and humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through the lens of humanitarian, development, and rights-based organizations such as Save the Children, Greg will talk about the various conflicts affecting the DRC and the type of humanitarian response that is possible – and desperately needed by millions of Congolese directly affected by the crises. Greg will also touch on education and climate-related initiatives that offer hope for the Congo and the importance of the DRC for a peaceful, prosperous world.
