I'm actually writing this post and the post before from the US Embassy, Kigali library. Today is the 4th of July (US Independence Day) and the embassy is hosting a celebration for the US expatriates and their friends in Rwanda. (4th of July is also Liberation Day in Rwanda and is a national holiday)
I took an early bus this morning from my town to attend the celebration. I was excited to be part of the larger American community here in Rwanda and for a chance to network and meet with other people here and also to grab a burger and enjoy some American food. The speech by the Ambassador was very inspirational and reminded me and others of the role we all play in a small country in the central Africa. The service that we all have to offer in furthering the American dream in sharing liberty and development with the Rwandan people. I must say for a while I was able to overcome the challenges I'm facing during my service here.
Furthermore, the burgers and the potato salad were a score!! Although they were not the same juicy burgers from the States, and where is the popsicles at?!!
Cheers and happy birthday America
