The road in Goma was black, and rugged, and difficult to walk on. Benoit, my Congolese colleague and friend, informed me that this was due to the fact the volcano had erupted near the town some years back, and the lava had covered the streets. The streets were heaving with people wearing stunning, bright colours and bustling with energy, whilst navigating the spiky road resulting from the volcanic ash. In the distance, I observed the cause of the road problems and the volcano towering above the town. What was it that led me to this lively region of Africa? All will be revealed.
