When we were last in Kigali, we noted several new buildings that were being built just round the corner from Inkuru Nziza Church
Those who read the blog may remember that the 2 of us got sidelined for 2 days helping the church look at the development opportunities of their site, and how they might improve their facilities through partner agreement with a developer.
Well here is what you can do when you have a good city centre site. This building was just being finished off in February, and now is open.
I love the way the architects (oops sorry Roger) provide loads of windows, but the only way the heat escapes is to open the window. Well at least in Kigali that is a pleasure.
Now this building next door was definitely not there when we left in February. Its the new City Council offices
and this was a hole in the ground - now no longer. So loads of changes and much evidence of development.
Rog - I think that I had better have another discussion with the church - perhaps they are sitting on a gold mine! But then, maybe not. The work that they presently do for orphans, the poor, and disadvantaged much outweighs pure financial gain. Shame - might have been able to project manage another build!
Wait for tomorrows blog, also showing a significant change - what cool traffic lights! - they so mesmerise the taximotos that they sit waiting for them to change - and much more sophisticated than ours.
