The essence of Peace Corps is people realizing that we are one human family. Our school secretary, Mrs. Donatha, gave birth to her third daughter, Atete Mugume, about a month ago. My colleague Claudine took me over to her house to see the baby. While there I had a nice chat with Donatha’s husband, the principal of the primary school that is across the street from where I live. They served us soft drinks and super-delicious roasted peanuts. Her husband’s school is the Gatsibo Community Model School but there is a plaque on near the entrance that names it the “Chinese-Rwandan Friendship School” as it was built with Chinese money. Her husband went to China as part of the program of building the school, so we had a nice chat about that and other things while the ladies played with the baby. Claudine took a picture of the baby, Donatha and me. Turi kumwe – We are together!
