Rema’s work at the moment is with the refugees outside of Burundi. As more people move back home, the work will change too. So maybe next year we’ll be visiting Burundi.
Kirundi word for the day is NI NEZA– which means 'it is good' in answer to 'BITE'/ 'how are you?'.

Here is my two cents worth:
Only small enclaves of Burundi have known armed conflict/attacks in the last two years. The rest of the country, the capital Bujumbura in particular, is as safe as you can get in a medium sized city. Just ask the peace-keepers there who spend their time partying for lack of anything better to do.
To really understand the people you are trying to help, visit the country. Not because the refugees are returning, but to have a better grasp of the culture, the situation and the environment they will be facing upon their return.
