- A tea plantation in northern Burundi. It produces approx. 4 million pounds of tea per year.
- A few curious boys at a goat distribution in Mufumya, Burundi. The goat distribution is a program by FH that provides the women of the community with some sort of bank balance on legs. the goats provide a sense of economic security within their insecure situation.
These past few days have been awesome. We covered a lot of ground. From Vancouver to Kigali took well over 48 hours. And I have to say it has been worth the travel time. We have traveled through Burundi looking at various agriculture development projects with FH: coffee washing stations, terraces (I am now a terracing pro), a school project and many more.
We just got back from Burundi this afternoon and we are spending the night in Gitarama, Rwanda at the "Splendid" Hotel.
I am not even a week into my stay here in central Africa and I have already seen and experienced so much. I cannot wait until I reach Goma, where I will be spending the majority of the next 6 months,
Everyday has provided a new experience, a new acquaintance. I can't wait for tomorrow.
