Final week in the states!

Well it's here. When I booked my ticket I clearly remember thinking that the trip was so far away. Well it's not anymore! I leave the states on Memorial day from DC.

I cannot wait to get this project started! I'm clearly aware that "Rwanda time" is nothing like our time here in America. So I'm realizing that this is going to be quite a lot of work and even more waiting to get things in order and purchased. So I'm really glad I have 2 weeks and I'm happy that Valerie and Appolinaire have begun the research so we have a plan of action while I'm there. Securing the location and buying the sewing machines are first on the agenda then off to shop for supplies.

I'm also very excited that some of the women wish to learn jewelry making. For those who know me know that this is close to my heart. I'm excited to see what beads and items are available there. And again I think I'll have something to learn about how Rwandans to things. And it will be an adjustment to our lives, where everything is available to us and fast! 

I think the pace and simplicity will be refreshing.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to post while I'm in Rwanda. I believe it takes along time to upload large files such as photos etc. But no worries. When I get back I'll have plenty to share and even more pictures. So stay tuned!
