Rwanda is beautiful! It is absolutely stunning! Maybe I am a little ignorant, but I just had no idea it would be rolling green hills everywhere you look. Of course, that is why they call it the 'land of a thousand hills'. But I honestly did not know much about this country before I signed up to come here a couple of months ago.
We are staying a couple of blocks from an internet cafe which is convenient. But I have only come down here a couple of times. The connection is slow so I haven't blogged before now. It's really been a great break from technology and always being connected.
The trip has been great so far! Our team is really fun and I'm enjoying the time with them. We have formed incredible friendships with the Rwandan people we are working with. And I really believe that this project is making a difference in the community (check out 20liters.org for more info... I'll post more details later as well.).
It is definitely a different world here. People walking to get the water they need just for survival. And the water they get is likely from the river and filthy (full of e coli and other terrible things). You see women carrying the huge jugs on their heads or people hauling them on bicycles. This is everywhere you look. It should make us all pause... and be thankful for the blessings in our life!!
More later. And especially pictures! I cannot wait to look through my pictures and post some (or tons!)!
I am so glad to hear from you!!!!!!! We are continuing to pray for safety and health.
