Ceremonies

I generally hate ceremonies, but today is our swearing in ceremony and I am very excited. It’s a big deal and we get to take an oath and become official Peace Corps Volunteers. I will get to meet the US Ambassador to Rwanda and feel important.

Time lapse: The ceremony is over. After much primping, photo ops, and fabulous food we are officially Peace Corps Volunteers. We are pretty much a big deal. Clips of the ceremony were replayed on Rwandan TV multiple times. Our picture and a story made the front page of the New Times – a Rwandan newspaper. It is a funny fifteen minutes of Rwandan fame.

Now the real work begins.
