Muraho (which means: Hi, I haven't seen you in a while! in the Kinyarwanda language)

Wow, thanks for checking out my blog :) This feels kind of scary, like leaving my journal open on the coffee table...which, by the way, I'd never do... So why blog?

• to make the process of preparing for my trip to Rwanda into something family and friends can check out easily


• to keep it real (today,I'm excited-scared-amazed-and-intruiged. Yesterday I was overwhelmed)


• to talk about the Rwandan history that motivates us to want to assist them now and in the future


• to ask and answer questions


• to tell anyone who is interested how they can help me and my team.


• for the fun of it :)

I'll be posting ways that people can help me fund the trip, and by doing so, partner in the great work of Peace Teams - specifically I'm going to be making some beatiful ART you can USE, for your donations, so stay tuned.

Thanks for visiting :)
