What have you learned from working and interacting with members of the community?
I learned that complex construction tasks can be efficiently performed together between two people who do not speak the same language. I installed some of the metal walkway panels with a local community worker, Deborah. Using actions and a few English and Kinyarwanda words, we quickly overcame the language barrier and were able to install the panels efficiently.
