Rwandan Disco Magic!!!!

Well, it has been a great last couple of days to say the least, was transported back into my college days in the form of a Rwandan disco, dancing my heart out until 3:30 in the morning with 4 feet pygmy men, it was amazing!!!! Today was the start of the entrepreneurship week for the Project LIGHT participants, it started with the most ecstatic dancing and drumming and financial literacy training from the the top micro-finance bank in Rwanda. The energy of these students is truly unbelievable; over the past two and half weeks I have seen them come to life, opening up to what is possible. Just a couple of weeks ago they entered the room with not knowing one another, not having any hope for their future, now they sit together holding hands and start each morning singing praises, they have found a family. Each day here is really a miracle from being with the students, to little kids chasing your car down red dirt mountain roads, to back alley craft markets, to wild wild discos all encompassed in a country that has seen the worst faces of evil and has risen from its ashes. Rwanda you amaze me.
