Acts of Grace Rwanda: In Kigali, a friend hosted me at her place for two months

I don’t want to repeat the story, but I officially started travelling internationally for my solo trip in August 2021. When I picked Kigali as my first destination, I did because I knew some people there and it would be like a soft landing for this huge adventure that I was about to undertake.

When I talked to my friend (whom I had met at a conference earlier) about searching for an apartment, she and her husband offered to host me for the 2 months I would be in Kigali. This marked the beginning of my wonderful journey and the proof that people are kind.

This was the first of many acts of grace I experienced and it would only open up the door for others.

Dorcas and Jean Claude are one of the most beautiful and kindest couples I have met. They treated me like their sister. Through them, I got to meet more wonderful people. They fed me a lot and introduced me to many local dishes.

We ended up doing so many things together. Dorcas was always driving me to places.

By the end of my 2-month stay, I had made so many good friends and wonderful memories. They even held a farewell party for me which was touching and made my leaving that much more difficult.

I would like to say thank you to all the wonderful people I met in Rwanda. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and generosity. I ended up feeling like Rwanda was more of a second home for me than another country I visited.
