Congo Calendar 2010!

Congo Calendar 2010There are still some copies available of the brand new Congo Calendar 2010. This 9"x12" wall calendar is filled with full-color photos taken by PCP staff and by volunteers traveling with PCP work teams. Brief quotations offer information and reflections on this too-often overlooked country in the heart of Africa.

The Congo Calendar 2010 has been well received by globally-minded people and those who love good photography, as well as by supporters of the Paul Carlson Partnership's work in Africa. 

You can order the calendar online through Covenant Bookstore. The price is $12.95 plus shipping. All net proceeds help support the work of the Paul Carlson Partnership.
