Had a pretty amazing week in Rwanda with the Global Health Corps fellows based in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Malawi. We spent 5 days on Lake Kivu, a volcanic lake in Eastern Rwanda. We stayed in a nasty hostel our first night in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda (ie smelly unisex bathrooms and shower stalls, challenges finding toilet paper), so expectations were quite low when we arrived at our spectacular lakeside Presbyterian retreat center. It was a joy hearing about the work fellows have been doing in other countries, discussing how to address certain challenges we are facing, and bonding with a really cool group of Americans, Ugandans, Rwandans, Malawians, and Burundians.
