Life in Kigali
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping to come to Rwanda in the summer! I'm really excited about it and can't wait, but I would love to know more about what expat life in Kigali is like, from people that know it. It is safe for solo females? What are the Rwandan people like, is it a nice city to stroll around in?
I'm also looking for volunteer work in a charity (large or small) related to AIDs, access to education and sanitation. Does anyone have any possible suggestions as to who I could contact?
Please add somehting if you know anything about Rwanda or Kigali which might be useful. Looking forward to any responses, thank you!

Re: Life in Kigali
Hi
I am in my early thirties, a single white female and I just returned from Rwanda where I was on a missions trip for 16 days. Rwanda is amazing and lovely and EVERYONE should go! It is lush, green and stunning. (However I was there during the rainy season - so it might not be the same during the summer)
The people are very safe, friendly and I felt very safe. I didn't walk/wander alone, but many do.
Check out homeofhope.ca for more information on an organization helping orphans, education, widows, microloans and other great things. This was the group I travelled with.
Have a lovely time!
