It was a tragic day in The Land of a Thousand Hills. Heavy rainfall triggered landslides in western Rwanda. Many people were killed as their houses were washed away. I live in the eastern part of Rwanda. It is less mountainous than the west, and there have not been similar problems here. Below are pictures taken by Penny, a Peace Corps health volunteer, who was traveling in the west today. Mud, rocks and trees cover the roads.
