Likasi

The town of Likasi, a mining town in the south of DRC, where we were reaching into it's four neighboring communities. The town center itself is a striking mix of old Belgian architecture and African culture. The people spoke Swahili and French. Like many growing towns, the rich are getting richer, and the poor more desperate. Although it was very safe here, more so than South Africa. I walked around at night without a worry. Because of the war, security is actually more of a presence.
