Children of RwandaAll good things must come to an end and our VSO adventures really were worth every minute of the preparation, the training and all the hard work. We have made friends for life both amongst colleagues abroad and volunteers in the UK and all over the world. For anyone out there who is thinking of doing a VSO placement, I can only encourage you and hope that you have a time as rewarding as the two of us. Why not have a look attheir website.Just click on the tab above.My final posts relate to our trip to East Africa one year after we returned from Rwanda. You can see them by clicking on the tabs or going to the pages from here.....One Year LaterEast AfricaYou will also find links to theGuyana BlogandNCERLEADERSas well as a few others who shared the experience with us.And so I leave you with the following........"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." ~ St. Augustine "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." ~ Mark Twain "A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet." ~ Lao-tzu "Two roads diverged in a woods, and I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference." ~ Robert Frost And finally my favourite ......... "Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad of new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way."Ralph CrawshawCheers from RwandaMurakoze, Rwanda
