All that remains now is to reach their village:&nbsp;Nyakabanda. Apparently it\u2019s not very far, and the directions given by&nbsp;Alphonse, the local coordinator, are simple and clear: go to&nbsp;Gitarama, then from there take a&nbsp;motorcycle taxi&nbsp;to&nbsp;Nyakabanda. He will be waiting for me at&nbsp;COFORWA. Gitarama&nbsp;is only about&nbsp;40 to 45 kilometers from Kigali, and minibuses run there regularly. Nyakabanda, on the other hand, I couldn\u2019t find on the map. Probably a small village somewhere nearby. It shouldn\u2019t be much of a problem. There is just one detail bothering me: Alphonse wrote that the motorcycle ride costs&nbsp;5,000 Rwandan francs, about&nbsp;10 dollars. A fortune here. But well\u2026 probably a typing mistake. So I set off. The weather is beautiful and I have the whole day ahead of me. And without any difficulty I reach&nbsp;Gitarama. The bus stops in the middle of a large&nbsp;dirt square. A few steps away, several motorcycle drivers are waiting for customers. I walk up to them. \u2014&nbsp;Nyakabanda? The answer comes back as a burst of laughter. [&hellip;]"}
