This brings us to the reason for the trip. Rwandan Coffee Club raises funds by selling coffee to support survivors of genocide in Rwanda. We sell Rwandan coffee as well as other origins.
These are typical of the local cows which our recipients prefer to receive as they eat less grass.

The above photo was taken at Bugasera, en route was the memorial at Nyamata Church where these remains were on display.
Here is the altar in that church, the cloth is stained with blood, the level of which indicates the tide mark of blood as some 5000 people were slaughtered.

Experiencing the stark evidence of such horror is interspersed with beautiful peaceful scenery which hightens one's emotional level.
Being known as the land of one thousand hills, some dramatic waterfalls are bound to be found.
This is still in the south where the hills are small!
Not long now till Lake Kivu and a welcome swim!
