Apples

I loved going to the market in Fayetteville, AR to get my weekly regimen of the apples that were available.  There was an apple kiosk with apples only and all of the people knew that I eat apples every day with peanut butter. AND I MEAN EVERY DAY!  I so loved how the young woman there told me which apple was the best one for the season. But now I am Kigali, Rwanda, where apples are rare and are a luxury.  When I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Lesotho, I was told by the PCMO (Peace Corps Medical Officer) to eat apples to be able to move things through my digestive system...., but I have no issues at all.

But I LOVE APPLES. And they are not easily found here.

There are, however, other wonderful fruits to enjoy including bananas, pineapples, etc.  I have yet to go to the local market, but I look forward to what I can find.

    Did you realize there is a 12 word sentence you can speak to your crush... that will trigger intense emotions of love and instinctual attractiveness to you buried inside his heart?

    Because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, please and look after you with his entire heart...

    =====> 12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Instinct

    This instinct is so built-in to a man's mind that it will drive him to work harder than ever before to to be the best lover he can be.

    Matter-of-fact, fueling this powerful instinct is absolutely important to having the best ever relationship with your man that the second you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will soon notice him expose his heart and mind for you in a way he haven't experienced before and he will see you as the one and only woman in the world who has ever truly attracted him.

My House at TTC

As promised, here is brief glimpse at my living conditions at the Teacher Training College in Kabarore, Rwanda. Please note that when the Peace Corps staff member dropped me off here, he “oo’d” and “ah’d” claiming that I had one of the nicest spaces of any Peace Corps Volunteer here in Rwanda. The dorm is new as of last year and I am the first to live in this space. Trust me, I am grateful. My apartment is situated at one end of a dormitory. There are two separate “apartments” on each end of the girls’ dormitory with a large room in between where the girls live. Surprisingly, I hear very little through the walls, but given the sports complex (basketball court, volleyball court, and soccer field) is right outside my front door and the girls shower, lavatory and washing area are right outside my back door, there is plenty of commotion when school is not in session and on weekends. I am grateful that I have a fan and earplugs to tune things out. The students here are very

As of today, Thursday, April 16 (I try to write my blog posts on Thursdays), I am have been back in the United States for a month with the first 14 days staying quarantined as was highly recommended by Peace Corps upon our return stateside.   I had promised a post about the wedding I attended on May 7 and it will be forthcoming, but I thought I might share with you my experience as an IS/EVAC/COS (oh, those acronyms!) Peace Corps Response Volunteer from the Teacher Training College (TTC) in Kabarore, Rwanda.   This may take a few weeks to finish and since I am not in Rwanda any longer, I will share some of the photos that an acquaintance is taking in this stunningly beautiful country. (@jonkmania) One of the highlights of my teaching at TTC was teaching an English Communications class.   The teacher was so kind and gentle and he suggested that we use topics provided by the Rwanda Education Board (REB).   For the first couple of classes, we did just that, but I was notic

Teacher Training College at TTC

It has been exactly one week since I have been at my site in Kabarore, Rwanda.  It is in the Eastern part of the country near the Akagera National Park.  I am living on the campus of a high school boarding school which was not really what I had envisioned, but I am making the most of it.  The school has provided me with a very spacious house on campus and I spend most of my time in one little room in the middle.  There is a basketball court right outside my front door and much activity at the back of the house so I just stay in the middle. I have just finished my very first week teaching at the school.  It has been a bit confusing as the teachers expected me to "teach" and I had no idea of the curriculum nor the style of teaching.  They are so very kind and understanding that we have spent the week organizing the material so that we "co-teach" in an effective manner.  I am quite exhausted at the end of the day since the day begins at 7:20 AM and ends at 5:00 PM.
