Arrival

We apologize for not posting anything until now. We have had less access to Internet connection then we had previously thought, so we will be doing our best to post as much as we can when we can.

Here we are with our new friends from Weber State University in Utah, and our Rwandan friends and guides, Joseph and Valence. 


After a long flight we made it safely to Kigali. To our excitement all of our donations also arrived safely with us! Once we arrived in the city and settled in, we explored the town. We met some Rwandans; they were more than happy to share their culture with us and we  learned some Kinyarwanda words. One of our new friends taught us how to play cards Rwandan style. The Kinarwandan word for cards is amakarita, a singular card is referred to as ykarita. Also while exploring town we connected with Never Again Rwanda (NAR), which is the organization which facilitates the Peacebuilding Institute that we will be participating in.
