'Mokili Andelo' is the beautifully told story of Mokili, young son of a Congolese Bambole Chief, growing up in the Congo of the 1930s and 40s. Born into Bambole Tradition, but drawn to the incoming Baptist Mission, young Mokili faces with courage and an open mind the extraordinary challenges of this cataclysmic period in Congo's history. Dr Stanley Browne, renowned for his work fighting leprosy, and in charge of the Yakusu hospital at the time, tells this story of Mokili who becomes his ?Houseboy? at Yakusu. Dr. Browne was known at Yakusu as ' Bonganga' - the 'White Doctor'. He is also the Bonganga of this story. With rare insight and empathy Dr. 'Bonganga' Browne sets Mokili Andelo's story within a vivid, yet faithful, picture of the Congolese everyday life, culture and challenge of this crucial time.Dr Stanley Browne, renowned for his work fighting leprosy and in charge of the Yakusu hospital at the time, tells this story of his young Yakusu Houseboy, Mokili.Dr. Browne was known at Yakusu as 'Bonganga' - the 'White Doctor'.
