Day 7 of 38
Well, we were supposed to cross the border today and begin meetings with local leaders. Instead today was a day of protests against corruption in leadership so all offices and places of work were closed. Protests in other towns such as Goma and Kinshasa against perceived irregularities for upcoming elections got violent. So instead we stayed put and spent the day in a peaceful and beautifully manicured hotel garden drinking espresso and planning project objectives.
