Arrival

I arrived just past 11pm on Sunday at Kigali airport, and was really relieved when I saw someone holding a piece of cart board with some words resembling my name. Vieter and Frederick from RDIS greeted me with broken English and tired yet really friendly eyes. We got in to a Toyota bakkie and made our way to Gitarama, an hour’s drive outside Kigali. So there I was, sitting in a car with two complete strangers as if their best friends in this far off country (which they actually did become later), cruising towards some place, somewhere and I realised how much I’ll have to trust in God during the coming 10 weeks.
