Open House at KHI

On Thursday afternoon I was told that I would be taking 2 students on Friday to an open house at KHI for what would essentially be a career fair. KHI is the Kigali Health Institute.
Friday morning I left school with 2 senior 6 students and we headed out. Once we arrived we got a small tour of some of the classrooms and library before we got to the career fair part. In one of the school's courtyards they had a bunch of tents set up for the different departments. The school has a total of 10 departments, all somehow linked to health, whether it be nursing, or environmental health, or medical imaging. Slowly we worked our way from booth to booth and gathered information. What was great is that each department had a little pamphlet so I was able to get one for the school and all the other girls who could not attend. I will admit there were a few times when the people at the booths were explaining something to me as though I was 10 years old, but I did not want to be like excuse me I have a degree in Engineering you do not have to explain to me why clean water is good for one's health.
But, it was a really cool event to go to. It was also nice because we ran into some former girls who graduated from my school.
Now the event went from 9-4.30 in the afternoon. We had arrived around 10 am. To be honest I had gone to every booth by noon. But my students had not since they ran into other highschools in attendance and of course started chatting it up. Which I have no problem with, I understand it, but still, it was boring. Really boring. Luckily the girls finally got hungry and we left around 2 to go and get some food in town.
On the way back home I asked the two girls if they would consider going to KHI for university, and they both said no, it did not have what they wanted to study. Which in one hand I think its great that the girls want to study very hard things but at the same time I don't know the plausibility of every girl at my school going to study medicine, because that is what they all want to study.. I guess only time will tell.
And just one thing as a final note, the event had a DJ, and at one point the song 'Boom,Boom, Boom, I want you in my room...' came on, and I burst out laughing. :)
