Rwanda Faces

Over the part 10 years, I have encountered many memorable faces in Rwanda.  



Laughing mothers with colourful clothes and headdress carrying babies on their backs.  Teachers, male and female.  Professors teaching our students on Rwandan culture and history.  Old farmers with deep lines on their faces.  Elegant old ladies in colourful dresses.  Boys selling avocado.  A farmer boy proud of his squash.  A farmer raising rabbits.  A farmer raising sheep and goats.  Little girls carrying 10 kg of water in jerry can on their heads.   Little girls carrying her little brother on her back.  A student learning welding.  Marathon runners.  A young father carrying his child.  A boy with a cross I made for him out of a corn stalk.  A boy wearing an eye-glass frame I made for him out of a piece of iron wire. A girl playing with a box I made for her from a box that carried a solar electrical controller. A female student from an elite high school.  A young man delivering milk on a bicycle.  People going to church on their best Sunday clothes.  Motorcycle riders delivering food from the market. A student from the University of Rwanda.  


All in all, a people no different from you and I. God loves us all.
