First Part of Travel Team Arrives in Rwanda

BobH and BobDF made it to Rwanda! They drove to DC, spent the night in a hotel, and then spent almost a whole day traveling to Rwanda (via Rome, Addis Abba Ethiopia and finally Kigali Rwanda). In Kigali, they met up with a driver who took them to Gisenyi - about a 4 hour drive.

The Bobs are staying in Mama Chalula's guest house in Gisenyi. They have identified a foreman who will begin construction on the latrines on Tuesday. They have met with some the community and some local officals about the project so far.

Some other good news! The money that EWB-USA wired from our account arrived in Rwanda - so the travel team will have access to the funds they need to execute the initial stages of the project!
