Get to Know the Founder of Mavuno
David Masomo grew up in poverty in North Kivu, in the midst of DRC’s devastating wars. Abducted by an armed rebel group, David witnessed the destruction of his homeland and the deaths of his friends. His heart yearned for peace, but he knew intuitively that top-down interventions like UN peacekeeping operations would be insufficient. So he pursued a career in development. He worked with several major NGOs and government agencies in the region before winning a scholarship to pursue a Master’s degree in South Korea.
Come spend an evening at Busboys and Poets, hear the inspiring story of Mavuno, and meet and mingle with David and colleagues. Children are more than welcome to join. We also encourage you to bring musical instruments to this casual event.Â
