We went with Primate Safaris from Kigali, where we were met by our fabulous, friendly and informative guide, Alex Kagaba, who took us for breakfast, a tour of Kigali and a visit to the moving Genocide Museum. He then drove us north to Kinigi through the cleanest country you will ever see. I did not see a SINGLE piece of litter! We stayed at the comfortable Gorilla Mountain Lodge and next day had an amazing adventure. After an energetic 2.5 hour hike up to nearly 9,000 feet we spent an hour with the Sabyinyo family - with the 400lb patriarch silverback brushing nonchalantly past me. FANTASTIC!! And then a good hike down - excellent pack of trackers & guide. Next day a return to Kigali for a visit to their parliament building - with preserved bullet and rocket scars, and a different angle on the genocide. What a lovely country and such an impressive response to their dark and recent history. There are many countries that could benefit from emulating Rwanda!

In 2014 a community library was opened offering books in Kinyarwanda, French and English.

According to Niyosenga, art and music help youth serve as evidence that something as easy as a beat of the drum contributes to the fight against global poverty.
This is a lovely art gallery very close to the US Embassy and the Kigali Public Library - an easy walk from either location. When we visited, Niyo (founder/owner) of the gallery was there and shared with us his story and the history of the gallery. 40% of the proceeds from sales of paintings goes back into the Niyo Foundation for working with street kids. The gallery carries quite a few artists - across the range from those more on the beginner's end of the spectrum, all the way to artists who are very advanced and talented. It's a joy to walk through and look at all the art, and learn a bit about the various artists whom we fancied. They ship around the world, so don't be concerned about suitcase space. Well worth the trip!

This is an amazing Center to visit and shop. This Center employs 123 women who have been marginalized and/or traumatized from the genocide. They are now gainfully employed using their amazing artistry and skills to produce beautiful products using yarn that they themselves have spun, dye and knit from. The local plants found on the grounds of this amazing place is a sight to see. Flowers, leaves and various seeds including avocado can found on the property from which the "expert dyers" use to turn raw merino wool into brilliant color palettes of pinks, orange, yellows, gold and many more. Some of the women are expert in knitting and some are expert in felting. You will be awestruck when you see the beautiful garments and felted animals that have been crafted by these " artisans hands". I also had the pleasure of visiting the " rabbit habitat" where angora rabbits are raised and sheared for their angora fibers, also used to make sweaters. This is a place you will want to visit and experience for yourself to see the amazing talents of women who have a dark past but are living a life reflective of a bright hopeful future. Many thanks to the Founder and Country Director for their vision and commitment in making this a wonderful place for these women to heal.
