Stella has been involved with OtG projects since joining a delegation with her family alongside the Run Across Ethiopia project at age ten. Over the years she stayed engaged in the organization’s work and launched her own campaign to raise funds for the school tuition of forty students in the DRC over three years. She graduated from Kalamazoo College in June 2022 and is thrilled to be working with OtG again.

Herman helped make On the Ground’s Run Across Congo a reality and has been managing OtG’s programs in the DRC ever since. Herman has extensive experience managing development programs in the DRC and holds a degree in African pedagogy and a Masters in community management.

Herman has devoted his life to improving the lives of his fellow Congolese, particularly women, and has endured unimaginable heartache alongside his Congolese brothers and sisters.
