Hi! Our eighth wedding in seven countries. Kigali, Rwanda, we got him (Jean Bosco Nzeyimana) from the Fosters School of Business Young Entrepreneur contest 10 years ago. His bride is Nicole Ishimwe.

I picked Jean Bosco up at the airport on a cold day in February 2014, he was just wearing a golf shirt. I immediately gave him my jacket. He was part of team that was competing in the GSEC competition. But unfortunately he was the only one who was able to get a visa for the US. (I believe that the project was third, Gas for tomorrow)

So he spent his nights coordinating with his team and his off times seeing and experiencing the PNW. He had ice cream for the first time, saw snow, had a hamburger (so huge he said it was still in his stomach), saw the ocean. During the time he was with us he wore my turtlenecks, my jacket and my cashmere scarf. His facebook cover photo was him on the shore in West Seattle. I have enclosed some pictures from that time and another one of us at his wedding. He is a very bright star. He was number 24 in Forbes 30 under 30 in Africa. Winner of the Nelson Mandala award and just an all around good guy.
