So as we speak I am sitting in Kigali Airport, Rwanda.
Either; 3 months, 12 weeks, 90 days, 2160 hours or a whole lot of unforgettable memories.
Some doubted my decisions, some didn’t understand and some just didn’t listen
But now I can truly say with all of my heart – it was all 100% worth it.
Firstly I want to thank everyone who made this dream possible,
If it wasn’t for all your support I wouldn’t have made it.
Rwanda and its inspiring people are now a part of my life that I will always remember,
Rwanda and its inspiring people are now a part of my life that I will always remember,
And for that I am eternally grateful.
Secondly I want to thank everyone at the YWAM base...
Life with you there as friends, as family, as servants – it was unforgettable.
Every one of you have been a blessing to meet whether staff, student or volunteers
You all made a difference to my trip and I will never forget you.
Thirdly I want to thank Umugwaneza.
Without all your support, information, guidance,
Life and laughter this would NEVER have been possible.
You put up with me learning Kinyarwanda
You showed me African living
You took me to Akagera and Bukora
Basically, you made my trip.
I will never forget you and our time together in Rwanda
See you in two months? Can’t wait.
Finally, I want to thank Rwanda.
I want to thank the people for their warm welcome
It is amazing how this country has been rebuilt after the terrible Genocide,
It is such a beautiful place and everyone looks after it so well.
The difference between the city and the country was extreme...
But from both places I experienced amazing things.
I think from this you can all tell I pretty much has the time of my life,
Hope to meet again someday Rwanda, Love Nyiramwiza!
