Day 2 Part 2 - Kigali, Rwanda

In the last 20 years, Rwanda has rebuilt their infrastructure and economy.  Tourism has blossom and there is pride of the new Rwanda.  Rwanda is known as the cleanest and safest country in Africa.  The country promotes green environment and plastic bags are banned.  There are people sweeping the streets in all community.  Umuganda is the last Saturday of each month; it is a mandatory day of community service.  Each community choses a project that is beneficial for them currently. 

 



 
The new Kigali.


We met with the local training team at King Faisal Hospital.  It was a productive meeting finalizing the logistics of our training sessions.  And we emerged from the meeting with a blessing of the rainbow.

 

Dinner was at Republika with Human Resources of Health/Ministry of Health representatives.  Dinner was family style and tried the native little fish Sambaza.  Sambazas are little fried fish usually served with a tartar-like dipping sauce and you eat the whole crunchy thing- head and tail included.

 
 
After a long day, Goodnight Rwanda.
