Two months and counting
My departure is set for August 26th. That means in two months I will be on an airplane destined for Rwanda. 25 kgs is all I'm allowed and as the pile of things I want to take grows, so does my anxiety. Once in Rwanda I will spend three weeks in Kigali training. Then I will be whisked away to Gasarenda, a small village in the SW of the country at 2000 m altitude. There I will live with another volunteer in a small brick house for two years. I will be teaching English at PTTC Mbuga, a secondary school for students training to be primary school teachers. Now that I have the particulars out of the way, here's some answers to frequently asked questions.
Have you seen the movie Hotel Rwanda? Yes
What do your parents think? I'm sure they're a little worried, but they've come to expect these things.
You mean you won't have television? That's right!
The volunteer you will be living with is a man? Yep
Anyways, that's all the information I can spare for now.
A bientot!
