Sup guys, its now the evening of our second night in Rwanda and what another day we have had. First up was a rare taste of hard work, spending our entire morning manually plowing a field on a farm in Kabuga. Kabuga is a small area just out side of Kigali, the farm we worked on is heavily linked with Solace Ministries and the farm consists of widows of the genocide, supplying them with support and a job. We were greatly welcomed by these women, saying that they even considered us as their own children! We gathered together and had a time of singing and even some dancing, before getting out lunch.
       After a much needed shower, we all headed to the genocide memorial. Dont think anyone was fully prepared for what we would learn there and the graphic nature in which it was presented. We spent the following hours wandering around the beautifull gardens and among the mass graves of genocide victims. Inside the building we learned the history, reasons and consequences of the genocide. All of us found it very difficult to take this information, in particularly the way in which women and children were brutally murdered. The day has been good though and i think i can speak for everyone when i say that we are having the time of our lives in Africa...were not coming home :)
