Ahmed's Adventure in Rwanda

This blog is to capture my Peace Corps experience in Rwanda. We’re the first PC group back since the 1994 genocide. I'm excited and honored. In this blog I'll reflect some of my experiences and shed some light into the local culture. I’ll keep this up to date so please visit this domain to keep up with what's new with me and to leave messages and comments.
