Birambye has transfered the technology of using bamboo, cement, acrylic and fiber to Rwanda by teaching an orphanage to build a visitor center, starting with a modernized kitchen. The orphanage overlooks scenic Lake Kivu, near the international gorilla preserve, thus, the visitor center is uniquely attractive and should pay for itself. This is a prime opportunity to teach what ferrocement.com calls space-age mud and wattle. Birembye's wonderful effort employs the senior orphans to build and run the visitor center, as well as opening doors to future independent employment.
