‘Muraho’ to all our friends and supporters of the “Linking Arms with Rwanda” mission. If you
would reply in Ikniyarwandan, you would say ‘Muraho Neza’, or a ‘very good hello to you to”.
It’s been a few days since arriving home from Rwanda with our team of seven, so I thought we’d
give you an update with our impressions. <more...>

The tie-dye wall hanging in our office of an African map with a small Canadian flag over Rwanda has gained new significance for us lately. We are finally beginning to see some results of the efforts spent on moving to and getting settled in this sad but beautiful country.<more...>
