Encounters in Kenya

(If you're feeling lazy, just read the last 2 paragraphs - they're the ones with all my feelings and reflections!!) I'm a bit behind on blogging, mainly cause our time in Kenya was so busy!

Visiting a Women's Prison

Today is our last day in Rwanda, so I thought I would update you all on what we've been up to whilst we've been here! (having now been sat here typing on my phone for 40mins, I'm going to have to split all we've done into two parts!!) I'll also write a blog on some more reflective thoughts on how I've found Rwanda (we've got a couple of very long...

Back to Africa!

It's a long time since I've written a blog post - sorry to those of you who've persistently pestered me to do so for the past year and a half! I'm taking it up again this summer cause I'm off to the other side of the world once more, and I've found its a great way for me to keep in touch will all the...
