| The Church Sam Started in 1988 and Parsonage They are Building |
Sam, the man in the white suit jacket started this church you see on the right of the photo above in 1988. Of course the congregation did not have a church when he started it. They even have a blue sign that mentioned it is an Anglican church of the Byumba Diocese.

| Parsonage for a Future Pastor |
This is how most houses start in the countryside in Rwanda, and likely much of Africa. Basically it looks like bricks around the perimeter and then local clay blocks for the interior walls. Then, I believe, they are covered in an adobe like plaster to give a smooth surface.

Totally different building standards. Yes, that is some sort of mud or clay holding those bricks together.
