To Save a People: This site is in memory of Jean-Pierre Hallet by Dr. Peter J. Panagotacos. Important note from Dr. Panagotacos: "I am afraid that there is no way to guarantee that help will reach the Mubti pygmies. Currently Dr. P can not guarantee that any funds will ever directly reach the pygmies, due to the political unrest in the area, and the personal danger to anyone trying to visit them. In June 2016 Dr Panagotacos and his son Christopher had made reservations to visit the Mbuti Pygmies in the Ituri forest of the DR Congo and yet again another war broke out resulting in cancellation of the trip. In 2016 43 people were massacred in the small town of Beni." "Since 1974, The Pygmy Fund is the ONLY organization in the world dedicated to saving the Efé Pygmies from extinction and preserving their way of life with self-reliance and dignity."
