Regional/Cultural Day

Mokolo ya Chikwanga

Cassava stick, the original Congolese energy bar. Wrapped in banana leaves, portable, durable, and filling. Chikwanga is what you eat on a bus from Kinshasa to Matadi when there are no stops. It is the bread that never goes bad, the food that travels, the taste of home for every displaced Congolese.

Windswept dunes and stark dead trees create a stunning landscape in Sossusvlei, Namibia.
