I am heading off next Saturday, July 3rd, for a second year running, to Africa to do volunteer work with an Irish Organisation called Camara. You may know that CAMARA is a nonprofit making charity that takes old computers, donated by individuals/institutions in Ireland, refurbishes them and sends them to schools in 7 African Countries. In July and August, they send out volunteers to train up teachers, in the use of these computers. Last year I had a rewarding and interesting experience in Lesotho and this year I am going to Rwanda.
I am doing my last preparations now, have a little packing to finish... and am nearly there. I am feeling both nervous and excited. I think once I'm up and running and there, I'll be grand. I think saying 'Goodbye' to family and friends is always hard, but I will be back soon and I will keep in touch as much as I can....I have been told the Internet Cafes in Kigali are good, so when I am not working I'll do my best to update my blog with posts and if possible photos.
So see you guys soon and in the meantime.. An Invitation for you -If you would like to, please join me in this journey by logging on to my blog and writing comments/views/questions and keeping in touch!
Kay
