Rwanda - Very Dependent on Foreign Aid. One of the safest countries in Africa.
Posted 7/26/2010 at 12:22 PM by Cassie D
Did you know? Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa? Most people just associate Rwanda with the horrific genocide of 1994. However, there is peace there among the people there. No longer do they consider themselves "Hutu" or "Tutsi". They are RWANDAN.

Watch this video!

Here are some great organizations to get involved with:
Art (A friend is working here)
Cards from Africa: The website is currently down for some reason but I was able to pull up the home page though the links don't work.
Health (My university and community have helped fund this)
Medical Clinics through Humanity for Children
Networking (My alma mater William Woods University and community are a part of this)
The Rwanda Community Partnership Project
