My experience in Rwanda has enriched my teaching and opened an opportunity to build up an international engagement and partnership across and beyond all subject areas and boundaries. Children and young people can make connections between different areas of learning to develop knowledge and skills are required for life, learning and work.
Pupils of an enhanced provision in secondary school organise a presentation about Rwanda on food, tradition, weather, vegetation and culture.
Everyday meals often consist of bean, vegetable or meat stews. Generally, Rwanda’s food is not particularly hot or spicy. So, we had a lovely tropical lunch with papaya, pineapple, passion fruit, banana, mango, beans, cassava and hot tea (chai or icyayi) which is brewed sweet and milky.
In Rwanda, this is a traditional tale about Ngunda, a glutton and giant. It is because of him that Rwanda’s rivers and lakes were formed. The children in the Pr 6/7 Enhanced Provision Unit at Banff Primary School enjoyed hearing the story and making their animation.
I tracked Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda ISABUKURU GROUP and Cultural Village.
I had an amazing adventure in July 2015, with the mountain gorillas in volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. I was on a 30-day trip in Rwanda and I had a gorilla trekking tour organised by Eco Tours. A deposit of 50% (£420) was wired transferred to secure a place and pay the permit two months before the trip. The tour company booked the hotel and got the permit, thankfully strictly controlled and limited to about 80 people a day. The remain balance (£450 including transfer cost and exchange rate) was due one month before the trip. On the way back from the Gorillas, the company added value option of seeing the twin lakes, Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo.
Certainly the pictures will speak for themselves. So much to tell and see! The animals are amazing! They hang out in the background, they cross the road, they pause to model and they merge their surroundings.
I advise you to look really closely at the grass, the bushes and the animals. You can be surprised by a bird and of course you can miss the shot. Prepare your camera and do not get out of the car, because elephants, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes and other animals. Look very, very closely at the landscape. You usually can see distinctive shapes! Giraffes are magnificent and charming!
