DON'T LOOK AWAY!: SNAPSHOTS OF CONGO AND THE PYGMIES OF MUBAMBIRO

Don’t Look Away! Snapshots of Congo and the Pygmies of Mubambiro is the story of Australian Barbara Rose Ferguson’s unique experiences in the remote and war-torn African nation, the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Over a period of eight years she formed precious relationships with women who had survived unimaginable brutality and found a new passion in life in working for a band of destitute and despised Pygmies.

This is an authentic, ‘warts and all’ account from someone who has spent a lifetime working, researching and teaching in the field of international aid on the frontline in two war-torn countries. It is a story of eight years spent in one of the most troubled parts of the world involved with arguably the most disadvantaged people in the world: Pygmies.
