Virungas and Visions

Plan Canada donors enjoy traditional Rwandan dance from a children's group near Ruhengeri at the foothills of the Virunga Mtns. These mountains are where the rebel army (under current President Paul Kagame's leadership) gathered and prepared for their charge to power, which drew an end to the genocide. As we drove northwest to this magical, misty range, we learned about the country's ambitious plan for development - Vision 2020. President Kagame is a visionary leader, inspiring so many with feelings of hope and progress. Exciting times in Rwanda!
