Muraho !!!! (Hello)

Well the day is almost over, and we have just finished reflection time. It was an emotional time thinking about our day meeting the genocide survivors, we all had a reality check and felt more grateful for everything we have. The two young men that we met witnessed their families being murdered at the early age of 6. They only survived because they were hidden amongst the murdered bodies. We heard about their struggle growing up without parents for support and finance. They are struggling to keep their homes and find money for food, one of them had not eaten in 3 days. It really made us think about our lives and how lucky we are. We have all realised it while out here, so maybe we should tell you "thank you parents we appreciate you !!!"
Unforunately our day changed slightly, as we ran out of time. We were unable to go to the National Genocide Memorial, but we are visiting it tomorrow so no worries, instead we went to see the vocational training centre and got the chance to help with the work.
       Best part of the day was being greeted by all the children and adults, we have never waved so much in a day. Their happy faces put smiles on our faces and there was an amazing atmosphere for the rest of the day. We sang for the genocide survivors and they also sang to us which brought tears to a few peoples eyes, as we did not expect them to sing for us.
    We have a had such a great first day and can't wait for tomorrow now !!!!

Thanks, Eilidh McLachlan and the rest !!!!
