Life with OPERAnauts has been a voyage of highs and lows. In May, we mourned the loss of Moïse BAUMA, a beloved 26 year-old team member in Kinshasa, honoring him with a 90-day grieving period. His voice lives on through our YouTube channel. In August, our newly trained executive director Dorcas NENDE became the Miss Universe RD Congo First Dauphine, and Miss Cosmo DRC, a symbol of leadership and grace. By September, our Kinshasa administration team installed new officers and welcomed two musicians’ projects, which are being skillfully handled by our volunteer Project Coordinator, Emmanuel Otieno in Kenya.
