I have been working with Josh about a story in Ruhengeri which is run by an Anglican bishop John Rucyahana, the guy has set up a model school that could not be misplaced if it was in Western Europe, the buildings are well maintained and above everything good that the school has to offer, it has a very nice view of the Virunga mountain volcanoes.
We had a meal with the students and played basketball and soccer.
The school setting reminded me of Katikamu, my secondary school.
I also made a couple of friends including the head girl...Miriam
Now i have to go the beaches in Gisenyi.
Till then

After a really boring two weeks not writing here, life has been boring, i have been nursing my injury as earlier posted, then went tp recieve Gaaki, and didmany other errands.
I met Gloria or what seemed like on the bus to Kla,,her eat had been taken by someone else and so i invited her to take one next to mine, She gladly came and we exchanged pleasntries. She promised to see me again and gave me a number onwhich to contact her, But like hell she gave me the wrong number..at this mo,ment i remember G Unit's "wanna get to know ya" well, Gloria will obviously never see this blog but she was the latest specimen in the search for multiple personality disorders,
Football has been great though Arsenal hitting Milan really sucked
I have not been able to visit the gym because i had the knee problrm and am very broke next week i will be back.

Crossfore for fourth time
Crossfire is a huge political talkshow; the only English talkshow in Rwanda; and for several times i have been invited as part of panelists to discuss ussues ranging from the leadership of President Paul Kagame to media freedom in Rwanda.
The first few timers i was very corky and i received too much basing from the listners. However; experience and newly acquired finesse have helped to biuld my confidence while dealing with older men and facts.
None of my friends were able to listen in yesterday and so i have not yet received any one's opinion but i think this time i did very good job.
My honest view is the development of media in any society is a reflection of other developments in that partcular society. Rwanda's entire society is just growing-germinating is the word i want to use and therefore just like everything else in the country; the press is also infant. At this point in our country; we should be debating how to get jobs for the unemployed majority in our commnuities rather than busying ourselves with intellectual talk about liuxury freedoms.
Therefore; after we have overcome the problems which stand in the way of many in our homes accessing basic stuff like food, education, health care we can begin talking secondary freedoms.

With a brand new Liverpool jersey i went to watch them play Inter in the Champions' league. They beat Inter 2. o. I was happy not because i love Liverpool so much but becaiuse with Inter loosing in the Champions' league (hopefully they are trown out) The other Milan which i love so much can do some catching up./
As for Liverpool that was the second time they came out of very hard situations when am weasring their jersey. Two luck for me.
Roma beat Real; i hope Milan can put Arsenal in their rightful place and that is out of Europe..thats for the bigger and better/.........

Yesterday George Bush visited Rwanda, the guy spent five hopurs in the country. He met with President Pual KaGAME, visited Gisozi, opened the US embassy and held talks with Kagame at Urugwiro. They actually signed an important trade treaty that will protect goods and their transfer btn the two countries.
This has been reported enough am sure but what has not been is the way too much organisation ( i mean the roads, phone network and even internet)
Well; it was Bush and George Bush is actually nice guyt for Africa and the black race. He is my American president hero.
I went to Nymirambo for cinema at Mayak's and ended up making a deal to have a new Liverpool jersey and a newer one for Italy. I was sop happy defitinetly. Only that i was not too happy when the roads were closed. It was Bush. Long Live the US..........

Used!!!
There times when you feel used, used by your friends, your woman or man, used bu just anybody who thinks that by being your friend; they are doing you a very big favour!!
One of my closest friends has just gone to the US and as anybody who ends up there, he thinks that by promising me a visa and a place to live once i get to the US as well; he will make me do anything in Kigali for him. He doesnot think that i realise as am still playing good guy but maybe when he reads the blog, he can face upto me and we get even.
So yesterday was one of those days when the brain just goes in coma and you have no one to talk to, the bills have recently piled up and you are not expecting any money soon. what do you do?
You walk to the kiosk next to where you live- am assuming by now you have already made friends with seller there. You get beer on loan, get some African green and head to your lawn with a small radio.
Yeah; that was how i spent my last saturday. Gettinh high, and thinking nothin inparticular.;
John has finally gotten in touch with me, well maybe life can have its bright side at times.
Manchester United walloped the Arsenal yesterday, i was really hoping it happens as the game was my way of being with Peppe's spirit. So i had no money to buy a beer or brochete yet i was very hungry, so i watched only the first half and went back home to do the above.
Yesrtday i had a wonderful day even if i was very broke..actrually it is not important to have money, it is important to have a human heart and trust in mankind.
Now am just hearing accross the office that Real Madrid also lost yesterday, that is good news for Barca and me.
By the way it is sunday, the entire newsroom is empty only a handful of us is around-it is good to come to work on sunday.
