We faced a big disappointment when we found out that the United Nations will not let us go to the refugee camp to do the training time that was planned with pastors and their wives in that camp. Apparently they are doing some sort of census and don’t want outsiders coming in. Very disappointing-and we suspect there is more to it than that. Rumours have it that people in the camp have not received food for 2 months now. Conditions there are not good and perhaps they don’t want visitors to see the realities.
Since we can’t go to the refugee camp a few of us decided to us that time to make a quick visit to Burundi. Burundi is a neighbouring country to Rwanda and similar in many ways. I was especially eager to see this country since it is the place that several refugee friends in Canada (like Gisele and her girls) call home . The 6 hour bus ride from Kigali to Bujumbura was fantastic. The scenery we saw on the way was some of the best i have ever seen. Sooo beautiful.
My internet time is up so i will have to finish this next time. stay tuned!
