A telephone call from Rwanda this morning, has revealed that experts working in the area have located a water source suitable for the Lake Angels project in Rwanda 2008.
It is all systems go for a pipeline of over 2 km to supply water to a school of 1500 pupils and water for 500 other people in the area.
The project will cost a total of Euro 20,000 – all of which is being raised by the Lake Angels.
Euro 8000 has already been raised with the Lake Angels Soul Festival held in Barga last month.
The spokesman for the Angels expressed confidence that the remaining Euro 12,000 will be raised with other fund raising efforts here in Barga before next year.

The green fields of Nyinawimana rise in 50 acres of carefully sculpted terraces, abuzz with honey bees under a generous sun. This might be Tuscany instead of the hills northeast of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. And in a sense, it is. There’s a powerful story here, the kind of story you seldom hear at a time when news is mostly defined as catastrophe and the notion of spontaneous human solidarity is regarded as sentimental fiction.
