The local Rwandan team is made up of people who volunteer on the water team to try to make a difference in their communities. Many of them are active in their churches and volunteer for many other causes in their communities... like maternal health, child development, and health and hygiene. These people are changing their community and it is visible! As part of the American team, we are there to boost their morale and spirit so they can continue their hard work throughout the year. In the end, they raised my spirit. My morale was boosted.
Now that I am back in my real life, I need to figure out how to maintain that spark. How can I spread my spirit?
Am I making a big enough difference... in my community? to my friends and family? How can I live a little more like the Rwandans?
A few more pictures here... or a lot really. It's kind of a like a day at the site or a day around the village, but really just a few of my faves. I took an impossible number of pictures! I wish I could post them all!
One of the trucks that we rode everywhere in - quite a crowded ride for sure!
Water tank, water buckets and water cans...
It was especially fun when we got to get in pictures with the kids!
I was fascinated by this woman. She was really striking.
Can you see Kathy? She is in there somewhere - surrounded by happy kids!
One of our other modes of transportation... how many men can fit in one Toyota Helix? Matt loved the Toyota Helix!
These two melt my heart. Look at them.
Load it up, strap it on! Make it all fit in the truck!
Love the rolling green everywhere - beautiful!
Aloys' bike!
Matt was teaching the kids his name! Nitwa Matt.
Everyone has cell phones but not electricity. This was one of the little charging stations.
Our home away from home... Moucecore.
Amazing view of Kigali, from one of the balconies at Moucecore.
The men, hard at work!
Another cell phone charging station.
I love this picture of the water taxi down at the river! I absolutely love it.
Lunch! Check out the double banana.... !
