A New Chapter

In just over two weeks I will board a plane and start my 3 months in Rwanda with World Relief. I am both excited and exhausted. I just returned home from Boston where I was working on the Volvo Ocean Race,and have only a short amount of time to prepare for my summer in Rwanda. Thankfully I have time to fit in one week of vacation in before I leave, which will be relaxing and help me shift focus to the summer.

While in Rwanda, I will be staying in the capital city of Kigali with Phil & Becca Smith (Any of you Walnut Hiller's know them well!). I know.. I know.. some of you want to come in my suitcase. I wish that was possible, but you will just have to read here instead.

This blog is meant to keep you in touch with my life and work in Rwanda. I hope to post regularly with updates and stories of the people I meet. I would love for this to be an interactive experience with all of you, so if you have questions or comments PLEASE leave them!

If you are interested in getting updates please send me your email address.
