first impressions of Rwanda

Whoa. I couldn't really tell you what I was expecting, but Rwanda exceeds all expectations. Here on a  ten day development course, we've had a chance to meet both high level Rwandans (the Speaker and three other Members of Parliament, the head of a unity and reconciliation commission, the head of a large hospital serving a remote rural area) and local people served by Partners in Health, the group for which we are doing a consulting project on social marketing.
