The days starts with a briefing before driving... 8 hours
The days starts with a briefing before driving the village where you will be welcome by the artisans and try your hand at some subsistence farming . Then you will join the locals to fetch water and have the opportunity to help with food preparation. Lunch will be served and this will be local Rwandan food that the family would normally eat. The food will be cooked as vegetarian e.g. cassava and beans. This is a good time to ask your hosts about life in their community. They may have questions for you too about life in your home country. After an hour at lunch there will be a two hour one-to-one instruction in weaving a simple item in sisal before departing the community. You will arrive back at the office where you will enjoy a cold drink and have a debrief about your experience before shopping for gifts and souvenirs in the life store, here you will find a wide range of high quality handicrafts for sale, including those made by the artisans you visited.
