Leaving Kibungo

April has been a busy month for me as I left Kibungo and finished my placement with VSO, having completed a year's work with them.

It was very sad saying goodbye to my friends but I am glad to be staying in Rwanda for a while longer with the prospect of seeing them all again.

Before leaving, I held a small party at my house and invited my closest friends. We ate goat brochettes and ibitoke and drank lots of Fanta. I then packed all of my stuff up into a small driving school car with dual controls (taxis are not easy to come by in Kibungo!) and I left for Kigali. After the stress of moving and saying goodbye, I was very grateful to spend the following week in Tanzania, with friends, having a relaxing holiday....photos to follow.





Goodbye Moses - my wonderful housemate and washer-upper! Now under Michelle's watchful eye (left)
Goodbye Patrick - my lovely guard and BEST friend in Kibungo

Farewell party at my house
Not such a sad goodbye to this spider - thankfully the only day we ever met was my last day in Kibungo!


Goodbye Safari - my very cautious moto driver who never let me fall off!
Goodbye Mama Blair- my washing lady who cleaned my clothes and my house (sometimes a bit too thoroughly!)
Goodbye Jean de Dieu - Headteacher at Kansana, the school that gave my parents such a wonderful welcome.
Goodbye Judith - My DEO, boss and friend.

Fully loaded and ready to leave my Rwandan home
