Big day tomorrow
Today we interviewed Pelli & Joseph and some of the site workers, trying to get a grass-roots Rwandan perspective on their hopes for the future. It was tough... speaking through a translator is really difficult and time consuming. Their words are really important to our doc, though. We've had lots of perspective from the high-ups, but in the end these are the people that their plans effect the most.
Tomorrow is a really big day. We leave at 7am for Gitarama to film at a school, then on to Butare to interview the Dean of Education at the Rwandan National University. In all it's about 2.5 hours each way, plus filming. This time, though, we get to ride in our Hi-lux and a sweet DFID Land Rover (Jesse's in love).
The sound of the ping-pong ball is mixing with the crickets... we're all getting ready to head out for one of our last chances to relax together and get desserts at a nice local hotel, so I gotta run. I'll try to post again before we leave.

We're going to bed and you are already on the road for your big day of filming. God bless your last interviews and getting ready to come home. Any chocolate in the "nice desserts"? Still in our prayers!
