It's the weekend!

Friday night... we're having a movie/laundry night hosted by some neighbourhood missionaries. Yes, around here, they have laundry nights. We've actually been really fortunate with amenities like power & water. Here, the power only blinks out two or three times a day, and usually comes back on within 20 or 30 seconds. We've also had running water the whole time, though it's cold showers. (The first part's the worst...) And as much as I rag on it, the 14.4 dialup has only been out twice in the last six days.

Today we had one of our key interviews with Nicholas Hitimana and his wife Elise. Elise is a Tutsi genocide survivor. They have an amazing story, making it out of Rwanda alive, Nicholas earning his PhD, and returning to help with the rebuilding process. I also shot some timelapses and we got some great footage of Nicholas' kids answering questions about what they want to be when they grow up.

Tomorrow is a big day, with an interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Once that interview is done, we'll be piling in our Matatu (christened Utatam and Back Again), and heading to lake Kivu for some beautry shots of the Rwandan countryside and an overnight of R&R. I doubt we'll have internet access there, so I'll post pictures after the weekend is out.

The logs show there's about 70 of you tracking our progress... nice to know there's people out there keeping tabs on what we're doing.
