Recycling Information

Many people have expressed concern for the destination of my adventure, and while I understand that the are obviously some very negative parts of Rwanda's history, there are some beautiful parts too. None less so than the past 15 years, where Rwanda has done what very few countries have ever done, come from utter despair and ruin and built a growing, sustainable economy. There is a lot of work still to be done, and no one is more aware of this than the Rwandan people.

I am recycling the links shared on my fellow volunteer, Jess's, blog. I think that they will help create an understanding of Rwanda's past and current situation. The first is written by returning volunteer, Kerry.
