Following the museum, we traveled to a student's house in a poor neighborhood without running water. We were quite a hit for all of the kids in the neighborhood. We met her mother and sisters and came with a very big surprise. She is a very bright Computer Engineering student who we were surprising with an Internship in San Jose, California with Amazon Lab 126 to work on the Amazon Kindle. Going to America has been a dream of hers and it was very emotional for both her and her mother. It was also quite the emotional swing for us after coming from the genocide museum. Her mother celebrated with us and served us all biscuits (cookies), tea, and juice. It was such a cool moment to be a part of. Photos below. I have an amazing video but it is too long to upload here.
