Dowry Paid!

Last Saturday, Alain Sano who works with us here in Kigali gave one cow for Delphine. Yes, the dowry system is still alive and well here.

We travelled 2.5 hours south of Kigali to Butare with the short-term team from Philpott Church (Hamilton, ON) and they enjoyed the cultural event. Always fun to take visitors to dowry and wedding ceremonies here.
