Death by mud!

My last 12 days in Rwanda I am spending as a tourist, having officially left VSO. Met my friend Laura off he plane and didn’t introduce her to Rwanda gently, getting a motorbike from the airport, then into the hustle and bustle of the market before an Ethiopian meal with a weird mix of mates! ...

It's time 2Pac!

Since Mum and dad returned home, after three weeks of Rwandan life, Eric and I have been preparing for UK life. Home comforts and familiarity for me, but a new, strange world for Eric. We spent a few nervy weeks as we waited for his visa application to be processed, trying not to dwell on...

The Parents in Rwanda

In a land far far away, where roads turn to mud in the rain and the old English cuppa is overruled by fizzy Fanta, there lived a boy and a girl. The girls' parents decided one day, against a life-time of normal thinking, to visit. They wanted to make sure this boy was suitable to enter into...

Three times as gorgeous!

Just had to write to show you the three new additions to the orphanage; tiny, one week old triplets!! They are so perfect and so lovely, I couldn't tear myself away! Yet sad that their perfect, innocent childhood will be spent entirely in an orphanage. In the picture is their mother, who is...

So this is work, but not as you know it!!

My mum says I have to write about work, so people don’t think I am just on holiday, so blame her if this is too dull! So having just spent two weeks in Gatagara school analysing exam results, repetition rates, conducting questionnaires and observing lessons I now have to try and identify who...

Just another day at the office!

Rain, rain, rain. In the UK - no big deal. In Rwanda wait for rain to stop, find a motorbike to go up to the village, bike drives very slowly because mud road turned into mudslide, see a lone minibus literally sliding down the hill, all others are not running because too slippy. My bike...

This isn't meant to be make you sad, but it might...with a rumble at the end!

After my last blog entry I stayed at Nyundo orphanage, as one of the centres I am supporting. I stayed in their on-site guest house, and as the sole occupant, had the choice of four huge bedrooms to sleep in whilst the inhabitants of the orphanage, over 500 children and young people, slept four...
