Good Causes

Good Cause: Rebecca Davis Dance Company

I was contacted recently by Sydney Skov of the Rebecca Davis Dance company about a cool project they’ve been working on here in Rwanda which uses dance as a way to reach out to former street kids. I wanted to share their story with you guys. You can connect with RDDC on Facebook and Twitter.

Good Cause: Azizi Life

I’ve been in touch with Tom from Azizi Life for quite awhile. I’ve seen their beautiful crafts on display at Heaven Restaurant and have heard great things about their Azizi Experience days. They do great work and I wanted to feature them on my site. You can find out more about them on the Azizi Life website or on their Facebook page.

Good Cause: Bridges to Prosperity

I learned about Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) through a new acquaintance, Andrew Seelaus, Country Manager of B2P’s Rwanda Programme. Intrigued about the idea behind building footbridges in some of Rwanda’s most remote communities, I got the how and why of bridge building as a way to help people. You can connect with them on their Facebook page.

Guillaume is a Design Consultant and co-founder of the Think-Tank George Pericles.  He started with Rwandan architecture students a research-project: Learning from Kigali. It’s interesting and they’re currently looking for some funding help so I wanted to bring some attention to it.

Good Cause: The Ahazaza Centre

I was contacted recently by Martin, a volunteer involved in the Ahazaza School and the setup of a new cultural centre in Gitarama. It’s an interesting project and I wanted to bring some attention to it.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your involvement with the Ahazaza Centre.

I am a German Livesound Engineer, touring with bands in Europe and spending the concert-free-time traveling the world with a small folding bicycle. Last October i was cycling Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and when passing the city of Gitarama i was attracted by Ahazaza Independent School, its pedagogical and philosophical approach and its possibilities and projects (like ecological farm, multipurpose hall, internet cafe etc). I decided to come back in November to help caring about the event hall of the school.

Oh baby! How’s this for an epic breakfast? . Via Oh baby! How’s this for an epic breakfast?

Via Via Traveller’s Cafe in Kibagabaga introduced their Full English a few months ago and I’ve finally been able to try it. It’s the real deal, folks!
.
Eggs to order, crispy bacon cooked into oblivion just as I requested, excellent sausages, beans, grilled tomato, mushrooms, and toast. It’s a massive meal and I think it’s a bargain at Rwf 8,000.
.
I’m ready to take on the weekend after this!

Two of my Kigali favourites! . One is currently on Two of my Kigali favourites!
.
One is currently on a plane to USA, but you can find the other at Poivre Noir.

I think this burger is the best in Kigali and the food at Poivre Noir is just generally awesome. We also shared the grilled veggies with feta which was new to me and it’s a definite winner!
.
If you haven’t been yet, stop what you’re doing and pay them a visit immediately! Well... wait until they open, I suppose.

I joined my friends at Go Kigali city tours and Ku I joined my friends at Go Kigali city tours and Kurema Kuriba Kwiga on a walking tour testing mission that will take in some of the awesome murals found around Kigali.
.
T’was a glorious walk down some beautiful streets I hadn’t ever been on, the artwork was inspiring, and the company was excellent! All was well and then... rain! Trapped for the fourth day in a row! Somehow it’s more fun with friends.
.
Go Kigali has some exciting things on the horizon including this tour so stay tuned for more info!

Sunny Kigali, where have you gone? I woke up this Sunny Kigali, where have you gone? I woke up this morning inside a cloud! I’ve been stranded in rain storms three days in a row! I keep getting soaked (and yet still never remember to bring an umbrella...)!
.
Where is the dry season? Come on... we all have things to do!
.
(But I still love you.)
