Rwanda rebuilding
... is a sad story. One of the exhibits that got me was seeing a childīs “I love Ottawa” T-shirt that had been pulled out of a mass grave and put on display.

My life as a Volunteer in Rwanda

experience was delightful. Of course the expense to us for a few
beers and skewers was quite low but for a local working person even
one drink could be as much as half their daily salary. Even then that
