Back From Akagera 2




Here are some more of the sights and sounds from our trip to Akagera and back to Kigali. In many ways these long journies through the country have been as important as the destinations. Seeing the wild animals at Virunga and Akagera was fun but seeing thousands of people do what they do daily was essential to understanding this beautiful country.


A little one with a lacrosse club tee shirt down to his knees. Walking, walking, walking. Washing clothes in a bucket, washing children from a bucket. A mother goat tied dangerously close to the side of the road nursing its kid. A lovely young Rwandan mother, breast feeding her new baby, sitting in a tiny flower garden near her mud home. Carrying, carrying, carrying. Boys on bicycles coasting down steep hills, walking up.

I am the Learning Systems Administrator at Aviva Institute (a midwifery school). I am working on a slideshow showing culturally diverse attitudes about breast feeding and I would like premission to use the breast feeding photo in it. Please reply to support@avivainstitute.org
