Final Days

The last couple of days of the trip after the teacher training were like “tourists days”, but that didn’t mean what I thought it did. I thought it would be easy going, but boy was I wrong. My body went through so much mentally and physically. It did me well in the end but I don’t think I will be doing anything similar to what we did any time soon. The monkey trekking did a number on me physically. For the first portion of the trekking in the forest we were constantly going downhill so with every step I cringed knowing we would have to travel back up and when we did I stopped literally every 15 feet or so and Drew was kind enough to stick around and stay with me while I struggled. There was even a point when we thought we were lost (mostly Drew.) but we kept in the path until we heard everyone else and I knew we were done. I was beyond relieved. Some days later we went on the Safari and besides the fact that I couldn’t bring myself to use the bathrooms on the park grounds because I just thought I couldn’t even though I needed to, it was nice. We saw so many animals, but zebras were definitely the majority. For whatever reason every time I seen a zebra I said “there’s a zebra cake!” Don’t ask me why. I just did. It felt like we were on a constant roller coaster in the truck we were driving in because of the ground but even with it it was peaceful and quiet at times and I enjoyed it. But being out on the safari for more than 6 hours tired is out but we ended our day at the lodge and a hibachi-styled dinner and it was delicious, then it was time for us to sleep our last night in Africa. We then proceeded to wake up and enjoyed a nice breakfast at the lodge and since we weren’t in Kigali we traveled a couple of hours back there where we had our final meal and said by to Francois and Solange who was so helpful and kind to us as they helped us navigate through Rwanda. And just like that it was time to leave. And because I longed to go home the flights back to Buffalo seemed longer, but over a day later we landed in Canada, went through the border, and it was then that I knew I was finally home.

I am really hoping for this project to finish on time. I mean, we still have a lot to do, but if we keep on schedule, then we will be able to achieve it all. I am the leader for this project, so I am really anxious about it. I think that there are a lot of things that I need to be better at if I want to keep my job. I will make this project the best thing ever.

    About the Author

    My name is Lisa Shaw and I am a junior theatre major at SUNY Buffalo State College. I love reading, watching movies, and anything that involves music. I’ve always wanted to travel around the world, and Rwanda is a great place to start. Combined with the love of helping people, making them happy, and wanting to travel, I believe that I can really make myself useful on this delegation and bring back what I will learn from Rwanda to my community. Everyone needs to know they have a voice. My village and I are just here to show them a way to use them.
