Hello all,
Mitchell and I have made it to Rwanda safely. The internet is somewhat avalible but a little slow. We have spent the last few days just observing what goes on here, and so far it's been great.
The Salesian community here is very active. We live on 27 acres of land, most of which is farmed. They grow many many different types of bannanas along with many of the typical fruits and vegetables like, peppers, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, eggplant... I believe I will be helped to teach computers, general knowledge and hopefully autocad to the students learning about construction.
A few people know english, but all the Salesian speak mostly French. We are doing our best to learn it. We will also hopefully learn some Kinyarwandan at the same time.
We went out the eat the other night and ate goat meat and potatoes...it was excellent. I will start to teach and play with the students here more on Monday and will update you then.

My Skype ID is "chstjoseph", feel free to try and chat if I am on.
