Peace Corps Training, Gisenyi, Rwanda




It was a long haul to get there--two days worth of flights to get to Nairobi, Kenya, another flight to Kigali, Rwanda and then a winding, hilly drive through the beautiful Rwandan countryside to reach Gisenyi--but it was well worth it. Molly Ward and Morgan Perlson had a great time hosting a training on Project WET's water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) materials for about thirty Rwanda Peace Corps Volunteers. The training took place at the Peace Land Hotel on the shores of Lake Kivu where the beaches seem more like a tropical island than a lake.

The volunteers enjoyed busting out of the conference room to try out Project WET activities in the sunshine and were excited to play games from our KID's booklets. They finished the training excited to implement Project WET's materials in schools near their sites, and to train local teachers and incoming Peace Corps volunteers in the future.
