I'm presently a student at a university in South Africa but would love to visit my loving parents in the DRC that I haven't seen for the past 14 years due to logistics issues and strongly believe that its time as my dad & mom long to see me. Besides, I would like to assist my fellow Congolese in Goma who are presently victims of a huge humanitarian crisis post-war that claimed 3000 lives; however, due to a security issue, I'm planning to fly to Lubumbashi, buy all non-perishable foods with medicines, and put them in the track where 2 organizations will be able to receive them in Goma: LA LUCHA and Appel to Compassion. I wished to travel to Goma but am currently controlled by the rebels, and the situation is still volatile. 

I'm looking for assistance from kind people like you in traveling logistics to Kinshasa and Lubumbashi for myself and my fiancee to be there only on a weekend (it will be her first time in the DRC) and Goma aid with its transport costs
