What if I told you that the closest source of clean water was 5 KM away and the only way to get there was by foot?

We head to Africa for the first time to the country of Burundi and talk with our friend Christ-Alex Irambona. Alex is 28 years old, he was born and raised in Burundi. He studied Civil Engineering at University of Burundi and he is a member of the international youth group called Youth For a United World who believe in a Universal Brotherhood. We asked him for his motto and he answered without hesitation "do to others what you want them to do for you.”

Alex was involved in an environmental project with this NGO called CASOBU in Burundi which focuses on contributing to the reduction of poverty in the country by doing sustainable development projects. Alex spent time in a rural area called Rukanda Hill in the province of Bururi to bring clean water to this community where the closest source of clean water is 5 KM away and not easy to access. So, we will have Alex talk about his time in Rukanda Hill with CASOBU and this clean water project, and then we will discuss letting go of our self-interests to help others which led him to find a family in this rural community that not only changed their lives, but also his life!
