Prince Pombo Mafumba and his family wait at a bus station in June 2019 upon arriving in Portland. For him, it was the end of a harrowing 16,000-mile-long journey, begun five years before, from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Photo by Brianna Soukup Prince Pombo Mafumba and Thaiz Santos Neri show their children, Heaven Pombo Neri, 5, and 2-year-old Prince Pombo Neri, how to blow up balloons at their home in Freeport. Epic though it was, Mafumba's journey from Central Africa to southern Maine is hardly unique.
