Muraho na Murakaze Neza mu Rwanda!

Hello and Welcome to Rwanda!

So I've managed to survive my first week in Rwanda and let me just say how beautiful this country is. The people are very proud of their country and it shows in the cleanliness of the country and the friendliness of the Rwandan people. After spending a few days in the capital and visiting the Genocide Memorial (it which I was in the local newspaper about going to the memorial) our group is now in a city in the southern part of Rwandan. We will be spending three months learning language and cross-cultural communication. Everyday we spend at least 4 hours learning the language and culture and the rest of the time is spent learning our technical skills.

I miss everyone already but I'm so excited to be here and experience the great things that are happening in Rwanda.

Yay! So excited for you. Enjoy the training for the next few months. Any idea yet where you'll be long-term?

Hi Daughter,

Very excited for you that you are now with the Peace Corps and in Rwanda. So glad to hear that things seem to be going well from you. Only one request, wish I could talk to you - when you are able.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Love ... Papa
