So now our in-country training is well under way. Last night we had a visit from the British High Commissioner which was very interesting. We also had our first Kinyarwanda language session this morning and I realised that for the past three days I have been saying goodbye to everyone incorrectly (murabeho). This is the form of goodbye you use when you are going away for a long time and do not know when you will return - No wonder the bank and shop assistants gave me grumpy looks when I cheerfully said goodbye to them!
We also visited the VSO office today, which is on the 16th floor of one of the tallest buildings in Kigali. Here we are, the new volunteers, in the office:
And this is the view out of the window behind us. No wonder some of the VSO staff find the glass lift a little daunting!
