Trip to Rwanda - Sunday, 10th of October 2010

Sunday 10th of October 2010 - Rwanda from Nkem Dennar's perspective.

.
It’s the last day of our trip and we return back to London later today. I miss my family but this experience has been like no other. All the while I packed my stuff and prepared for church I kept on thinking God must have purposed this.

After breakfast, the Minevam protocol team picked us up for service. The service was alright with special highlights from the guest minister who literally screamed the bible reading at the congregation.

Seeing the beautiful children’s (all sponsored by Remi) was such a blessing. We gave out sweets and encouraged them to do well at school so they can become all they want to be. It was fun watching Edo try to get the kids to recite the Reconnect motto. He managed it quite well.

It’s been an awesome and fulfilling week and its time to prepare for the airport. This is an experience I’d never forget. Over the last few days I’ve laughed, cried, and been angry and somewhat bewildered. I know I’ll never forget the stories of the people, their hospitality, their exuberant expression of gratitude and their resilience for living.

I love Rwanda and its people. This trip has been a blessing and given me to opportunity to work with some really brilliant guys and be a blessing to others. The need in Rwanda is huge and trust me every little helps. I leave with a purpose to show love and kindness and encourage others to do the same. Will I love to return to Rwanda? The answer is an almighty resounding YES, and hopefully with more friends.
