Great Start for New Week

Our new week started a bit earlier when we had a meeting yesterday afternoon with the local co-operative that conducts waste disposal in Musanze. They were previously just a small community association but with the change to new provinces and districts etc, they are now a province-wide co-operative. In Musanze alone they employ in excess of 50 people ranging from the actual disposal at the landfill to the guys who go around with their hand-drawn carts to collect waste from the town. Our discussion was about the seperation of different kinds of waste eg; glass, paper etc which they already do and also encourage in the town.

Today at the site was a hive of activity as all the guys just seemed to jump into the work in high gear. The southern perimeter (on roadside) fence frame was also finished. Most of the clearing today was in the two overland truck parkings, bar delivery road, reception and some work in the entrance parking area. The work is hammering on with some teams getting stuck into tree stumps that seemed to have "absorbed" massive rocks, also realising that it may be more than one or two days on that particular tree stump.
