So, we are nearing the end of Term 2. It has been incredibly long, even with two holidays last week for Rwandan Independence Day and Liberation Day. Luckily, we are in the home stretch with exams and break right around the corner.
To break up the long term, i went kayaking on Lake Kivu with some other volunteers. Now, I have never been kayaking before, but it was really fun! And exhausting. We started in Kibuye at Hotel Bethany and then kayaked to Napoleon Island (named because it's shaped like Napoleon's hat). Along the way, we passed an island with a friendly, solitary monkey. One of our guides gave him a banana. On the island, which is home to thousands of bats, we went on a rigorous hike to the top before eating lunch and kayaking back. I'm glad to say we only had one person fall in, and everyone made it back in one piece. I was very tired and sore for several days though.
On another note, please continue to donate to our grant! We're doing very well!
