Beginning of Week Three

First I would like to apologize for my slow updates on my blog.  I no longer have wifi where I am staying which means my computer time is a little more limited.  Initially when I arrived in Musanze I was stayed with Pam, which was great.  Due to circumstances I have now moved in with a family and have been staying with them for about a week and half now.  It has been very good.  Currently there are three in the family, there is another niece (Sandra) who stays with them as well but is at boarding school until the end of the month.  There is a grandma, aunt (Mireille) and nephew (David).  David is in primary three at school and is eight years.  Mireille runs a restaurant in town and attends university by distance educations.  The family has been very welcoming to me and it has been so comforting to have a home to come back to each day.  I taught David 'go fish' the other night and after one game he became a card fanatic much like myself.

In case you thought I forgot why I have come to Rwanda I thought I should note I am continuing my search.  I have begun to process of meeting with different organizations looking for a compatible match.  This has meant some trips to Kigali and other towns.  This weekend I will be traveling to Butare to look about and see what is happening there.  In my search I have been blessed to meet so many fantastic people and hear about some incredible organizations.  It continues to amaze me how helpful everyone has been with connecting me to co operatives and organizations which are cohesive with what I can offer.  If anyone needs some reading they can check out Azizi Life and Friends Peace House, two highlight organizations of my trip so far.
