Architect's drawing of the future Kigali (archibaseplanet.com)
A CNN film crew was here last month, filiming this new snapshot video of Kigali and its growth and future economic plans. It's a great 6 minute snapshot of life in this city, and President Kagame also touches on his reactions to negative press and thoughts about the future.
It just so happens, a few Sundays ago, I was having tea at the featured Bourbon coffee, with Kristin Urquhart, a favorite mom of mine, before we headed to the orphanage. The CNN crew came in and filmed us for a couple minutes while we were in the middle of a pretty serious conversation! They told us to sip our drinks and keep talking and act like they weren't there. Ha! We never thought we'd be featured...until this afternoon when we were told that a friend had watched the video and spotted us. How? I have no clue. Because those 2 minutes of filming were minimized to all of ONE SECOND of face time. :) Literally, Kristin's coffee drink got more video time than we did. :) But still, it's fun to say we made the news! But you have to be looking! :) Freeze the frame at 4:06, and there we are! :)
