Kenya tena



Since I already was in the neighborhood (Rwanda) I wanted to say hello to some friends in Kenya. I stayed some days in Nairobi, but I also got the chance to travel to Nyeri. The first picture is my good friend Milly and the second is of Kiuna and Phoebe, my host mum in Nyeri :)
It was so nice to be back in Kenya, even if it was just for a short while -I cannot express it with words (and yes I'm very talkative)

Rwanda




My Christian Union (CU) in Oslo has had a missions project in Rwanda the last 3 years, and I've heard about it both during my stay in Kenya and this autumn as fresh CU-member. This time around I was so lucky and blessed that I was given the oppurtunity to travel to Rwanda and see on a more close range, what the project was really about. In our application for financial support we wrote about mutual learning both in terms of culture, history and leadership (how we do our ministry). Looking back I can say that such a mutual learning has been there indeed. It has for me personally been very enriching to meet Rwandan students who have lots of commitment and optimism. I hope that some of the things we saw and learnt can be implemented in our very own CU in Oslo, at least I'm very inspired, feeling "freshened" after our visit :)
