When driving anywhere it is impossible to not hear cries from the street of 'Umuzungu!', especially in areas out of the city, like Masaka-where we were working on the water project. Any child near the street starts shouting 'umuzungu!' and chasing the car, trying to catch it.
This past week I have been busy working with the Mars Hill team out in the field. All of the projects were finished and they flew out today. It was a great time of community between the Rwandan and American volunteers and I enjoyed watching relationships form even though there were language barriers.
As for me and the language, it is a work in progress. I am determined to try to pick up as much as possible though!
This coming week I will begin to settle into planning and preparing for the future groups to come as well as our staff retreat weekend. I am excited to be in the office and get to know those on staff with WRR and work alongside them in planning for the summer.
One thing on my immediate to do list:
Ride a moto! - motorcycle taxis that are all around the city. They are the only for of public transport to take you to your exact location. Should be an adventure!
