Finally Pictures of My Village!



So I'm not technically allowed to say where I'm located in Rwanda. However, it's in a small village close to the bigger town of Gitarama. I took some pictures last week during a Genocide Commemoration Ceremony. My village is in a valley and so the pictures I took are when I was walking up the huge hill to catch the bus.

I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Bolivia, '66-'68), and founder and COO of Water Charity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that does water, sanitation, and public health projects worldwide. We have just started a new initiative, Appropriate Projects, to fund small water and sanitation projects very quickly.

Please check out our website at http://appropriateprojects.com and submit an application. Even if you don't work in water/san, you may want to do a small project at a community facility, clinic, or school. It could be something simple, such as piping, fixtures, water storage, or some other needed improvement.

If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a project, just ask.

Could you pass this message on to your fellow-PCVs in Rwanda?

If you like what we do, could you tell others in your social networks about us?

Thanks. I wish you the best of luck in your work.
