On Oct. 1, we launched AERWAkin, a Facebook group for the wider English-speaking community in Kinshasa. Its goal is to connect you to the happenings, people and information that make life in the Congo a little bit easier and a lot more fun. The AERWAkin Facebook community is not intended to be a marketplace for things for sale or rent -- there's already a Facebook group for that -- but an English-speaking peer resource for information and advice about life in the Congo.
Our online community is already at 80 members and growing. So far, community members have shared advice about barbers, a dependable taxi service and even a few job leads. Please take a look and consider joining. Membership to AERWAkin must be approved by an administrator and member posts will be moderated to ensure a friendly experience for all.
If you enjoy our online group, please consider joining AERWA as a paying member. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to join and enjoy certain privileges, such as free or discounted entry to our events. Only U.S. citizen government employees under the authority of the U.S. chief of mission may vote on AERWA affairs and enjoy a full range of benefits.
