Rwanda Pt 1:
I post maybe 95% of my content on stories and forget to post to my feed, but 2024 - new year, new goals.
So for those that missed my story explaining, here’s a quick recap on why I was in Rwanda.
June 2023
I attended Carlos Whitaker and Annie Downs’ “Here for You Tour” with . Their Tour was sponsored by , they made 12 stops around America, and ANL picked 5 winners in different cities to go to the 13th tour stop in Kigali, Rwanda.
I was one of the 5 that won!
January 2024
11 of us boarded planes across America and finally all met each other in Brussels, Belgium, en route to Kigali.
Over the next week we bonded and shared an amazing experience.
We also met up with Annie, Carlos, and their team of 5 people on a few occasions- including touring an ANL school in Kayonza and going on a safari in the Akagera National Park.
This is the “why” I was in Kigali. But the true why is, God-ordained it. I’m not quite sure on His why just yet. I feel lucky and blessed that I got to go and experience a beautiful country and learn about an amazing nonprofit. I had so much anxiety about going and not knowing anyone, but it was a perfect trip. I think the enemy knew God had something working and tried to hold me back; luckily, it didn’t work. One day I’ll know why God said I needed to go, but for now I’m just extremely grateful for the trip as a whole.
