When the COVID lockdown became a reality, Richard had a choice. Take one of the last flights back home to the UK, or stay with his staff and company in Rwanda.

Richard never doubted what his choice would be, but it wasn't easy all the same.

Talking from his office and bedroom in Kigali, we have a conversation that really engaged our brains but warmed our hearts. We discuss everything from:

• the future of rural electrification in Rwanda

• helping those earning daily wages over there

• getting back into cooking and watching Tiger King

• the potential impact of the crisis on our civil liberties

And much more...
