Geography. Informative. Not for faint of heart.

There are two Congolese countries in the world! : )  They are neighboring countries.  Check out the maps below!

I will be working with Mercy Ships in the "Republic of Congo" (labelled "Congo" on the map below).

The majority of the political turmoil has been in the "Democratic Republic of Congo" (formerly Zaire). Find an interesting video about that Congo here, also known as the heart of Africa. 
This video is not for the faint of heart! but very informative about the turmoil in the Dem. Rep. of Congo.
