Peace Island

Finally back in Rwanda, and back to work, but we were able to take some time out last Sunday for a boat trip and picnic at Amahoro Island in Lake Kivu. Amahoro means "peace" in Kinyarwanda.

The lake was as lovely as I have seen it in the many times that I have been to Kibuye, but this was my first time to go out on the water.

The outing was organized by the ARC Kibuye staff to welcome our new volunteer, Robin Weil. She's the other white woman in the photos. She arrived last week from her home in Eugene, Oregon to work with us here in the Income Generation Program in Kiziba Camp for six months.

We're very happy to have her and it looks as if she is happy to be here, too!
