The Paul Carlson Partnership has published a full-color 9-inch by 12-inch wall calendar that offers a unique visual window into the Democratic Republic of Congo. PCP staff and volunteers on working trips snapped the photographs. Brief quotations that accompany the photos come from a variety of sources, from PCP staff to international agency officials. The calendar can be purchased through the online Covenant Bookstore – click here to order.
