It's all about people!
June 16, 2023 in Rwanda ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
My time in Huye is slowly going to an end. Everything that I experienced here, all upd and downs, happy and sad stories will probably find a place in some bigger piece of writing.
But in the last post from here I would like to honor all the people that made this stay so special, cause in the end it's ALL about the people :)
In a very random order, as the pictures are:
- Eric, my guardian angel from the first to the last day, who became a friend for life and maybe even a business partner in the future. I could write the whole post about this guy, but I would rather link you there, to our fundraising action, please donate: https://gofund.me/f035d2bc
- Aaron, who spent so much time with me roasting, packaging and grinding coffee and was first enthusiast of Aeropress in HMC
- Rachel, who let me get deeper into the cupping and profile roasting, so I could really understand these last stages of coffee production. So many patience for my bad roasts ;)
- Monique and Damascene, people doing so important work in data collection, bringing me so much inspiration for future projects. Plus pushing me to speak Kinyarwanda;)
- Jonatan, unexpected bus buddy and the source of my social life in Huye, including long discussions about politics and future of the world
- Mami, the one and only local friend, that helped me to get around in the town and brought so much insides about the present and past Rwanda
-Jaques, the best, kindest and safest Mototaxi driver in whole country
- last but not least ( and without the picture) : David , who made all of this possible in the first place!
Of course there were way more people involved - workers, helpful folks in village, inspiring tourists on the tours - I'm not able to write about everyone without writing a book!
If you missed it reading - donate to Eric ;)
Stay tuned for the next adventure, on Saturday I'm on the way to Kitabi!Read more
