Resurrection of the Blog

I started this blog before I came to Rwanda in December 2008. In my first year of volunteering I had tried to update frequently, in my second year it gradually tailed off, and in my 3rd year I’ve done barely enough to qualify as blogging.
Many people say that in the beginning it is easier because you are doing something different and experiencing ‘new’ things that can always be blogged about, but as one stays in a place longer it can be difficult to blog about ‘every day’ events that aren’t unusual anymore.

Many times I have thought to revamp this and I write an entry but then I don’t have internet and I never upload the post. Not to mention I just got lazy. That is going to stop now.

After being a volunteer from Dec 2008 to May 2010 and then a paid-worker from June 2010 to now, my stay in Rwanda is finally coming to an end, or at least the end is in sight.
Just recently we actually purchased my return ticket (when I returned to Rwanda in December 2009 I came on a one-way ticket).

In the time I have been in Rwanda I have experienced a lot and grown. I want to take my remaining time to really reflect on what I have become and the ups and down of living here.

I won’t begin on the ups and downs of life here because that is going to have to take many posts and I’ll need to be more in the mood to dig into that can of worms. But for sure I can start on the “what have I become.”
