Travelogue: Searching for C-Clamps in Kigali

Join Bellingham Parks & Recreation for a presentation with guest speakers Alex Brede & Megan McGinty in the Rotunda Room of Old City Hall.

The smallest country in East Africa holds amazing diversity and wisdom within its borders: the Congo-Nile Trail, Lake Kivu, Nyungwe Forest, and resilient communities rebuilding themselves. In January & February 2023, Alex Brede and Megan McGinty spent 6 weeks traveling and volunteering in Rwanda. In this presentation, they share what they learned and the new connections they made in both Rwanda and North America.
