My Backyard.





All these pictures are of the daily things I see in my neighborhood. Currently, I am living in a house of a family (the Ntumba's) who are in the U.S. on break. They should be back in June. We do live in a really nice neighborhood with big houses about the size of some houses in the U.S. This is definitely abnormal. The upper class of Rwanda typically live in either a big house or a townhouse. It is said the rich people live on the hills, while the poor live in the valleys, which is true. Most roads are dirt, even though there are a few of the main roads that are cement. Also, with it being the rainy season right now, there is a ton of potholes. If you get car sick really easily, you might not want to drive in Rwanda or you might want to opt to walk. I generally walk to school. It takes about 15minutes to get there. I always enjoy those walks because it is cool, already there is a bunch of people out working on building houses, and it gives me time to think and talk with Amy, another teacher from KICS. What I tend to love most about Rwanda is how green it is? Would you have ever imagined it to be so green and beautiful?
