Rwanda Here I Come!

Bitese? Amakuru? Meza neza. Imana aguhe umugisha. (Translation = What's up? How are you? I am fine. God bless you.)

I will be living near Kigali, Rwanda from July - December. I leave the US on June 30 and return on December 17. I will be doing research and investigation in hopes of developing processes for helping to improve the people's lives. I will also be spending time at Umuryango Boys' Home in the town of Byimana. This is the Home where some others and I spent two weeks this past summer. My heart is still there! I have decided to live in my own apartment when I am there, in a town called Gitarama, which is 4 miles from Byimana.

Check out my Photo Album if you haven't yet.

I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers (and maybe visits and emails!).

Murakoze! Thank you!

I guess you're really going there if you've set up a blog. This is a great idea!
