One major difference between my two Peace Corps services is that, in Thailand, my students were everywhere around town and it was easy to meet them and their families. In fact, one of my students lived two doors from me in Pakkard. Here in Rwanda, our school is residential, so the students are not available to bail me out in town (i.e., help in shopping, help in saying things in Ikinyarwanda, etc.). One of my students, Eric, lives in the same town as my nearest PCV neighbor, Sandra. I told him I would visit him when I next went to Nyarabuye, which is about 12 km from Kabarore. The other day I went there and met Eric, his father, his sister and brother. Here’s a picture of me with Eric and his cute 4-year-old sister.
