We went to City Hall to present Mayor Brown with a gift from the Mayor of Muhanga, Rwanda, one of Buffalo’s Sister Cities. While there, we received a tour of the Mayor’s office and a short lesson on the history of the items found in the office and of the entire City Hall building. We even got to converse with the mayor himself. We talked about the life lessons we brought back from Rwanda and our plans for the future. It was a great experience!
