A muzungu in Rwanda

It happens in every village we drive through, every road we walk down and every crowd we step into. Muzungu – the Rwandan term for white person – is heard by each of us hundreds of time each day. It’s shouted with enthusiasm by the children and almost always accompanied with a smile. Toss in the fact we’re shooting photos and videotape and we quickly become a spectacle worth viewing. A friendly wave and a returning smile makes for some pretty simple citizen diplomacy.

I'm videotaping an interview with Marshall Banamwana with the Gishwati Area Conservation Program.

Shooting some video along the road from Gisenyi to Kinihira.
