President Felix Tshisekedi and Mukanya bikosa Paul (Black JEW) to tackle development

In Berlin, Germany this year, Mr Mukanya bikosa Paul alsoknown as Black Jew the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo met Black Jew to discuss strategies and plans for a programme to raise congolese youth awareness. This is part of the project that aims to build new developmental approaches in the country. Since his inauguration, president Tshisekedi has identified multiple challenges facing the everyday lives of Congolese youth. Mr Paul Mukanya is one of those Congolese who have expertise in management and development from their approved carrier and willingness to participate in national development plan. Mr Paul Mukanya has a degree in commercial sciences and in his profession he is a supervisor at Lufthansa (Aviation) with 22 years of career already in Germany. Mukanya is married and has 4 children. He has been living in Germany for 32 years. He enlisted as a politician, the initiator and President of the non-profit organization: LE CONGO AUX CONGOLAIS (LCC). His vision is that we Congolese are masters of our destiny.

The Objectives of this program between Me Paul Mukanya and president Tshisekedi is to raise the concerns of youth with an aim to provide them a platform where they can discuss their issues with each other and finds the solutions of their problems, regarding different issues particularly health, reproductive health, Peace and Harmony, democracy, political education and the development of the nation by also calling them to quit delinquency. As we are aware that the essence of youth participation in national development is to promote ownership and sustainability of change of interventions, strengthen their abilities to meet their own subsistence need, to prevent and reduce vulnerabilities to economic, political and social unstable environment, to help them become the leaders of tomorrow. These objectives are in line with LCC vision which is the organization founded by Mr Paul Mukanya.

The non-profit organization Le Congo aux Congolais (LCC) has taken this opportunity to call upon all Congolese compatriots in the diaspora so that together they provide the means to allow the reconstruction of the beautiful country the DRC. Is it not said that the mastery of one’s destiny refers to the notions of freedom, autonomy, and independence, especially the intellectual, economic and political levels?

Mukanya calls the daughters and sons of the Congo because the time for change has finally arrived to lead influences to block the way to the dark partisans who for lack of vision have chosen to shine by their tribalism spirit through speeches based on the hotel of division. For Mukanya, the mission of the LCC is mainly based on a collective awareness of all Congolese regardless of where he resides, of his political or religious affiliation to join this unifying movement that offers a framework for exchanges and reflections for the revival of the development of our motherland. This is done with the aim that will allow the LCC in its approach, its commitment and in its unifying associative role is convinced that we diaspora are an added value to the development project and the emergence of our country; so we must no longer see ourselves only as a source of funding but as a potential partner in the reconstruction of our country.

In Kinshasa, Mr Paul Mukanya went to visit orphanages in the suburb of Lemba. He believes this is one of the ways to implement the vision of president Felix Tshisekedi. Over the past decade in DR Congo, orphanage tourism has been on the rise, especially in Kinshasa. Most donors not only want to see the famous sites and experience the exotic culture but also find ways to give back to the local communities. Orphanage visit is thought by many to be one of the best ways to make a difference to the life of the local people. Some people choose to stay for a couple of hours as part of their itinerary. Others spend a longer period of time as a volunteer, playing and reading with the children or teaching them.

Many orphanage visitors or volunteers find the experience uplifting and life-changing even since it is an opportunity to interact with the local kids and do their part to help. Yet good intentions aren’t always good. According to a wealth of international research, orphanage tourism might be doing more harm than good to the children. Thus many child-focused organizations suggest that tourists should consider the negative impacts they may cause when thinking about visiting or working in an orphanage.

Mr Mukanya distributed food, engaged in organizing games, drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative education and extracurricular activities. He insisted on the need for taking kids on Playgrounds. Helping kids to do homework, monitor academic progress, and make sure kids complete their homework. Sanitation (helping kids in brushing teeth, shower, and personal hygiene). For youth development, Mr Mukanya plans projects like  Character development and ethical enrichment activities; Mentoring activities, including one-to-one relationship building and tutoring, Community youth centers and clubs, Nonschool hours, weekend, and summer programs and camps, and Sports, recreation, and other activities promoting physical fitness and teamwork

The BLACK JEW believes that individuals often face such helpless situations. However, if you focus your attention only on these vicious circles, you run the risk of not seeing a way out and no longer questioning the decisive causes of this fateful chain. Seeking them in turn only in developing countries themselves does not take into account historical and social reasons. In Congo, families are forced to abandon traditional, resource-efficient farming methods due to limited or restricted land use rights and reduced agricultural area due to inheritance law or the loss of workers. For example, fallow periods are shortened, unproductive land is used, and animal manure is no longer used as fertilizer because it is urgently needed as fuel. Exceeding the limits set for natural production such as climate, soil quality or land shape leads to long-term damage to the soil or vegetation (animal consumption, use of firewood). This results in a loss of production and income. This in turn means that natural resources are used more intensively. A vicious circle begins, which is characterized by negative ecological and social symptoms. MukanyaMukanya calls on all Congolese to support his initiative and join President Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo.
