Forum: Humanism in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Humanists: do any exist in the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Yes! Over 400 humanists are struggling to survive in the Ebola-ridden, war-ravaged northeast corner of this destitute nation. Hank Pellissier will describe how his nonprofit (Humanist Global Charity, aka Brighter Brains Institute) found this brave, free-thinking group, and what can be done to assist them. The amazing geography, vast mineral wealth, and brutal history of DR Congo will also be discussed.

After the Forum, please join us for a lunch at 12:30pm. The lunch is complimentary for first-time visitors and students.

DIRECTIONS TO RENGSTORFF PARK AND THE MAPLE ROOM

Head south (away from the Bay) on Rengstorff Ave. (in Mountain View) from 101 or Central Expressway until you cross the train tracks. Then turn left at the intersection (with a traffic light) that says "Stanford Ave.-->" and
"<--Community Center". That puts you into the Community Center's parking lot. In the parking lot, veer to the right, and then turn left, and park alongside the right-hand side of the Community Center. Enter where you see the Humanist Community sign.
