I have said in the past, Congolese women and girls are very hard working. They can heavy stuff from the fields to their homes. The heavy stuff including wood, corn, and water. All these things are necessary to sustain the lives of their families.
Nick Kristoff of the New York Times has a great video showing Congolese women at work. He, with tongue in cheek, refers to it as the Congolese women's exercise program.
