This photo was taken on one of our many bus trips to see different parts of Rwanda. It shows the heavily cultivated nature of Rwanda, as well as the ingenuity of the farmers in dealing with the agricultural problems of "The Land of a Thousand Hills."
In this photo, I was walking with the daughter of one of our fieldworkers, visiting households to collect water samples that we would analyze back at the lab. This is a good representation of how UVA, University of Venda students, fieldworkers, and even their children, all worked together on this research project.
