OK, so all of you from our PRM class last semester will laugh to know that I've been asked to help carry out an impact assessment of the microfinance institution in terms of both economic and social aspects of clients' lives. So I'm happy/sad/perplexed to say that I actually looked back at some of my notes and staff reviews. Yes, PRM may actually prove to be "practical." Yikes. In my proposal for the project (which had a frightening resemblance to a staff review), I planned for the project to take 9 weeks. This will be tricky given the fact that only 6 weeks remain of my internship. Hmmm. But there are a couple other interns that will be here longer, so I may have to entrust them with finishing the task.
This weekend, Pierre, Janine (from Bologna) and I went to a nice lake about an hour outside of Kigali, and spent the afternoon swimming. It was really nice, and even though the water was kind of dirty, it was still a fun swim. I'll leave it to Pierre to post some photos!
I think I've seen about 3 genocide memorials so far. One had preserved bodies, another had skulls and bones. The latter one was in a Catholic Church. Yeh, I think I'm done with genocide memorials for a while. I get the idea. Actually the 4th of July is a national holiday here as well as it marks "Liberation Day" which is the day the genocide ended (or at least when the Tutsi-led rebel forced took control of Kigali).
So happy 4th to you all scattered around the globe, and Jonathan, I'm sending good thoughts up north in your direction so that a plane arrives to take you to your sister's wedding!
