Friday 13th

Today was a very good but emotional day. I’ve only got 10 days left in Rwanda so I’ve begun doing my 'lasts'. Today was my last Friday morning cooking for the street kids. It was my last time to wash up 60 plates in a small plastic basin with a piece of

a leftover rice sack to use as a cloth. The end of a very sweet 8 months.

I cut paper at Ubuzima for a few hours while I watched excitedly as they prepared my leaving present, which consequently might be the nicest present I’ve ever been given. They're making me a patchwork quilt cover out of Gigtengi. What a beautiful souvenir of my time with these beautiful people. Leaving Kigali is going to be incredibly difficult for me.




At one thirty I took Isabelle to Nyabugogo market to get her some school shoes. We got a really nice paid for only £7. What a bargain.

Later that afternoon I took Kim to visit Yvette at her home. We had a great time together singing praises to God in English and Kinyarwanda. We also exchanged gifts. I gave her a black cardigan and she bought me a pair of shoes! Yvette is so incredibly generous. The shoes didn't fit my chubby feet so we went to the market in Kimikanga to change them and we picked out a pair of bright green flip flops. Score!

I’m really going to miss Yvette as well.
