Safari Photos - Volume 3


"And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food."  And it was so.
            -  Genesis 1:30 12:10


In my journey with others to Rwanda in our partnership with Acts4Rwanda, we take a day to go on safari at the Akagera National Park in eastern Rwanda.  For many of each group taking part in these trips, it is a first time in Rwanda, or in Africa as a whole, or visiting a different country, or visiting a different continent.  

Each year, we take a day away from our time with the Acts4Rwanda Transformation Center.  This "day off" allows our team members time to process what they've experienced.  With our teams coming from a comparative wealthy society, the stark contrast can take varying emotional tolls on the team.  This day also provides a down-day for our extraordinarily hospitable Rwandan partners from feeling the need to host us for so many consecutive days.  

Please enjoy a few selected photos that I was able to take during a recent trip and compiled into Volume 3.
