HandUp Congo celebrates 18 years, March 2023
For 18 years, the HandUp Congo team has worked collectively and collaboratively to build a healthy Congo and to facilitate sustainable, income generating projects in Democratic Republic of Congo communities where team members have deep connections.
On March 4, 2023 those team members available in Sydney gathered to thank the many supporters who have assisted us in these objectives.

We hope you enjoy this photo gallery of our 18th birthday party, with photos provided by Jenny Templin, Kiran Hutchinson and Lucy Hobgood-Brown. Special thanks to Maureen Burdynski and Colin Menzies for hosting us in their magical garden, to Miriam Lieberman for taking us on a soaring musical journey with her lyrics and African kora, and to Rotary District 9685 Governor Mina Howard for joining in the fun.
Our hearts are full.
Thank you to all of our Congo champions who have shared our journey.
This African proverb sums up our ubuntu spirit:
If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
