Reflections of Africa: The Children 2015
The beauty of travelling by bike is the interaction with people and children. Mostly children will shout and wave hello, hello, sometimes this was followed with Muzungu give me money. The Rwanda tourist bureau suggested to just say "no" to the children. Travellers that give children money or sweets only create beggars of them. Parents will send their children to beg rather than go to school. If you want to help, give directly to teachers or organizations. Giving to children is not the thing to do to help. http://thinkchildsafe.org/travelers/
Enjoy this collection of photos of the children we met along the way.
