EXTENSION GOLDIGGERS OUT OF KINDU
WARNING: buying minerals as gold, diamonds are not allowed by Congolese law.
The piece of gold the young boy has in his hand has a local value of 5 USD and he worked 2 days to find it.
This is a muddy trip
Out of the village we have to walk in a river to reach the diggers camp. And once there, it’s all mud.
