Silas

Like I said in a previous post, Silas is our Logistics Coordinator. He is part of one of the NGOs we're working with called AJPRODHO, and he also works at the hospital. He's a very handsome, sweet, and friendly man.

At the village, Silas was our awesome translator who spent HOURS translating from Kinyarwanda to English. He did an awesome job. On the Indiana Jones ride back from the village when we were all thanking him for his hard work, he said that it was a good experience. Then we started talking one on one and he mentioned that it was good to hear the guy talk about certain things because it made him think about things again. Very vague. I kinda probed for more, and eventually found out that he was in the army for two weeks until the army made him enter University. I'm guessing from that that he was in the RPF [Tutsi] army. I really hope I can get another chance to talk more about his experience.
