In just under 3 weeks, we will be on our way to Rwanda for our next adventure. We leave on Feb 13, spend a couple of days in Amsterdam and then fly into Kagali via Nairobi.

Our plans are to spend 7 weeks in Rwanda and do some travelling around that country. We will hopefully see the gorillas, visit a Rotary project in Uganda, go on a game drive in Rwanda and visit Lake Victoria. This is all while we are volunteering in Rwanda. We will be working with an organization called Ubuntu which is an organization working with widows and orphans in Kimironko (a community in Kagali). After we have completed our volunteer stint, we will be travelling through southern Africa including South Africa.

We thought a blog was the best way for us to let everyone know where we are and to see what we are up to. Thank you Jarett for setting us up. The picture on the blog is of us in Vietnam in Halong Bay. Some of the locals were teaching us how to fish and then our cook fried up these little tiny fish. A wonderful day.

We will publish the pictures of our travels along the way(that is if we remember how to do it). Isn't technology wonderful.

  3. One more sleep and you two are on your way. I know you've had some pretty interesting adventures, but I think this one top's them all! I look forward to reading your diary and seeing the pictures. This is a great way of letting me come with you! My Kinyarwanda isn't so good, so in English, I wish you the best trip ever.

  4. Hope the trip is going well so far. Just became aware of this book. My daughter highly recommends reading the book "In the Shadow of the Sun" by Kapachinsky (sp?)if you can find it. She wishes she had discovered it before volunteering in Africa. All about Rwanda, customs, history, etc. Looking forward to your pics.
