Mototaxi drivers line up outside the entrance to the UTC building in central Kigali. I think they were more interested in the Tigo mobile network launch entertainment than they were in giving me a ride. From kigaliwire.com

It was a long time ago and it is just a working tool, but owning a machete in Rwanda is inevitably loaded with meaning/memories/images. From kigaliwire.com

The three wise monkeys (Japanese: 三猿, san'en or sanzaru, or 三匹の猿, sanbiki no saru, literally "three monkeys") are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He may be shown covering his abdomen or genital area, or crossing his arms.

There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. In the western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance.

mexendo em minhas fotos encontrei essa... um lugar onde eu queria estar AGORA. Sabe aquele lugar pra você sentar e ficar olhando, vendo o tempo passar, e com a certeza de que ninguém vai te achar ali? é esse! Eu até passo o endereço, no meio de uma peninsula (Kumbya) no Lago Kivu, em Ruanda. Uma dessas maravilhas de Deus :)

This photo shows two pit latrines under construction in Sovu Primary school. The school has to dig new pit latrines every year because of high number of pupils. Old ones are filled up with soil mixed with excreta. UDDT can solve the problem of digging new pit latrines every year in this school.
