A young Congolese man, Aime Baligizi, uses his education and his own experience growing up in a war to help others survive in a war-torn corner of Africa. What Aime Balagizi does seems simple. He distributes seeds and hoes for planting. The work is grueling and he says the sacrifices are great, but that so are the the rewards for those displaced by war in Chad, the Central African Republic and Sudan. In this installment of VOA's Making a Difference, Correspondent Nico Colombant caught up with Balagizi in Birao, in the Central African Republic, near the border with Darfur.
