Day 5 - Rwanda

So last time I wrote I'd spent all of my time in & around the capital, Kigali, but on Saturday, Emmanuel  and Celestine from ASSIST-RWANDA came with me on a site visit to see the 18 hectare property in Kayonza District (Eastern Province).  Along the way we picked up Charles the veterinarian who had been out to the farm once before to perform surgery on a pregnant ihene (goat).  Charles is fabulous, he's friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and has wonderful ideas.  Best of all he is excited to partner with ASSIST!  We saw the ihene on the farm, discussed the need for more access to water and wandered around the property.  Afterwards, we had some ihene brochette with banana chips (really more cooked bananas, but that's how they call it) and of course a healthy serving of Fanta l'orange (right Vic?) . . . okay gotta run, will write more later
