Follow the small paths....they lead to the only source of water for this Community


Rwanda is way more civilized than I ever would have expected. The people in the cities are dressed in modern fashion and vey nicely and so far no matter where I am I can get cell phone coverage. The temperature is in the 80's with low humidity and the natural beauty of the place is stunning.

So far we have met with the Mayor of the District we are mapping and everyone in his cabinet. Comprised of 20 members, his cabinet, the "Orphans of Rwanda" and the Water for People volunteers crowded into a small church to go over the protocol for mapping out water source and community information for the district. Everyone was trained on how to use the GPS and we were broken into teams. My team is comprised of Honorine from the orphans, Theophile, an agronomist and a local social-economic advisor. We supposedly were given some of the flatter communities......
