Today, and the next three days, we are participating in A 'Round Table' Meeting. The diocese has brought together a number of the partners that are doing a project in the diocese. The goal is to know who is working in the Kigeme Diocese and what are their projects. Also, to 'sit together' and thinking of the way forward! There is another Canadian team, a team from Arizona, and a group from England! Then, of course, there are all our Rwandan partners including clergy, hospital staff, Plan representatives,etc.......
Today we had some opening speeches from the Bishop, as well as the Archbishop, and we were able to get an idea of who was here. Then we toured a bit of Kigeme, and were treated to some traditional drumming, some choir performances and then given a breakdown of the Kigeme Archdeaconry.
After lunch we jumped on a bus and headed to Bugarama - 2 hour drive. Bugarama is the parish that Roger and Alayne and their church in Vancouver work with. Roger and Alayne entered the church to a chorus of cheers! The parish is full of very charismatic people. On the way back we stopped at another parish! In both these areas, there were so many people, we are talking hundreds! There was lots of singing and dancing it was hard to keep up with them!
