The exhibit is part of the work of Giving Back to Africa (GBA) (www.givingbacktoafrica.org) and Giving Back to Africa Student Association (GBASA). GBA is a Bloomington based non-profit dedicated to the long term mission of educating young people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In partnership with local Congolese educational institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), our goal is to empower GBA beneficiaries - through service-centered education.
