We'll be checking out the two completed water projects funded by the Foundation that serve over 3,500 residents near where Gilbert Tuhabonye and Bernard Manirakiza grew up. These are people that have never had access to clean water, spending their entire life up to now walking 2-5 miles to a creek, filling up their jugs with whatever was available, and then hauling it back to their home. It's made a life-changing impact for the Burundians, and we're excited for the opportunity to meet them, see the impact, and kick-off our newest project which officially started on January 10th.
Throughout our travels we will update with pictures and stories, and look forward to taking more supporters of the Gazelle Foundation to Africa in June 2011 to see the work they have funded first-hand!
