Favorite Things in Rwanda: Through the Eyes of an Eight Year Old

Another "guest" blog (aka home-school writing assignment!) - this time, our precious 8 year old will be telling you a little about her experience in Rwanda:

My favorite things about Rwanda are seeing cool places and the activities that I do.

This is me when I visited a tea factory

For example, I went to a place called Akagera; it’s a game park you go to to see wild animals. I saw an elephant, and, get this, I saw lions! I saw lots of flying, swimming, slimy, and furry animals that I had never seen before (or maybe only once)!!

Why did the Grey Crown Crane cross the road?...

I like to go to see our friend Elson with my family. I like to play with his daughter Aser-Grace; we play a game called ‘’I want. ‘’ There has to be three or more people to play it. All the people have to make a circle and choose someone to be in the middle. Whoever they choose goes into the middle and claps as she/he says ‘’I want, I want,‘’ then the other people say ‘’you want?‘’ They repeat it once or twice. Then the person in the middle chooses someone to do a dance. Then they repeat it over and over again. It is a fun game that makes us all laugh!

My sister and I playing with Aser-Grace (and her
brother) at her house.

There are many places I like to go during the day. I like our yard a lot. It is tucked behind a wall, so we don’t get stared at as much. 

This is all the grass we have in our yard.

I like to go to my friend Heather’s house ; I don’t go alone since I don’t feel comfortable going out alone.

About every other day my dad, Lu, and I go to the shop to get eggs, bananas, potatoes, and things like that.

I’ve had a good time in Rwanda. I’m looking forward to going home, but I hope I come back.

Thanks for reading!
