From the heart of Africa - Rwanda

So Pierre and I are here hanging out in Kigali, Rwanda. Actually, he's with a different organization, so I've only seen him once since we've arrived. Kigali is a cool city, pretty big and active. The people are super friendly, and I've been surprised by how openly everyone talks about and discusses the genocide. The microfinance institution I'm working with is going through a merger right now to become the first microfinance bank to be licensed by the central bank. So even though it is a bit crazy around the office, it is a cool time to be here. There is a big AIDS conference that will be hosted in Kigali next week, and rumors have it some big names (maybe Bill Gates, maybe Angelina Jolie) will attend. It's actually really mild temperature here, do I dare to even say a bit chilly? I guess Kigali is at a high elevation. But I didn't expect that in Africa. OK, gotta run, but hope you all are having fun!
