Hi,
I had a nice day training teachers from 10 different schools. I did train them before and it was great to see them again. I could not believe when we drove there that the old dodgy and bumpy dirt track road was actually a proper straight sand pist. What happened over the last 6 weeks. I actually did like the jump onto the old horrible road. Where is the adventure???? Well...for the Rwandan people I do appreciate the change. And...at least it is still sandy and dusty. So here is the news from today:

So here is the news from today:
Getting my gear ready in the morning. Material for the training, water, First Aid Kit, helmet......hmmm....everything there? Yeap, ready to go. Well forgot my purse today but there was nothing to buy anyway where I went and ....puuuuh....I could pay the motorbike in the afternoon.
Work shop in 'Bare' in Mutenderi. I like it here. This is just a part of the school. There are also a few much nicer buildings.
The kids were so funny and could not believe how many teachers were in one room. As always I did put the tables into groups and as always the teachers found that weird at the beginning but then enjoyed it during the day and understood the reasoning behind 'Sitting in a group'.
This work shop had the topic 'Spelling'. Here the teachers looked at a text in a school book and decided which words would be good to teach to their pupils. They had to think about important and less important words and how to actually choose the right words.
After work Leandre invited me to his house, where he lives with his family.
Washing hands before having food.
I was very honoured as Leandre bought a chicken at the market and slaughtered it for me. He said it is very easy to kill them....and by now....I know, yes, you have to break its neck quickly and then cut it...... Hmmmmm, not really what I intend to do. I rather like somebody else to do that .... killing job....and then...enjoy the chicken. His Mum cooked the chicken and plantain and the food was amazing. Leandres fiancee was there as well and we had a great lunch.I still cannot believe they prepared a chicken for me that was really an honour.
This is the field of Leandres MUM. No wonder that we had plantain.
Feeding the pigs. Funny hungry creatures!!! Look how they are begging for food. You should have heard there loud squeaking!
Leandre and his Mum. They are amazing people and Leandre really does anything to help me doing a good job. He belongs to the people in this country on whom I can totally relly. 
Getting ready for the journey back to Kibungo. It is just a quick jump, about 45 minutes with the motorbike.
