Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), a charity that uses aircraft to accomplish its errands of mercy in isolated regions, has been helping stem a deadly Ebola outbreak in the northeast part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) since August, and has temporarily relocated its staff from Nyankunde to Uganda due to a recent positive test for the disease at the local hospital.
