Back!!!!!!!!

So my sojourn is East Africa came to an end after 10 great days. Met a lot of people, exchanged culture and had mad fun. The downside was falling ill for almost a week which was a NO NO for me, this also crippled most of the activities i got lined up for ME.

Day 1 in Kigali, hooked up with the Ghanaian teams (all 3 of em) Opoku, Sammy, Paul, Siisi, Siegfried, Oliver aka Hungary and Paul aka New York. We were taken to our Hotels unfortunately the cool cats(Hungary & NY) had to be taken to another Hotel aka Bethel while the rest of the crew chilled at the Hiltop.

Day 2 was at KIST (Kigali Institute of Science & Technology) where David Cavallo and some of the OLPC Core teams talked to us as well as each team coming up on stage to talk about their plans for their deployments after which we head to the "Republika" for Happy Hour....the hours spent there was indeed happy after several bottles of Udeme and the likes.

Day 3 was the VIP day with dignitaries like the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, the OLPC Chairman, Nicholas Negroponte, OLPC Coordinators in Haiti and Paraguay as well as several Government officials. After all the formalities, a welcome party by the Rwandan Dance Troupe ensued and trust ur boy, i sure joined in the fun with my other fun peeps.

Several days went by and i learned a few tricks on the XO, made loads of friends and tried my best memorizing everyone's name. I can proudly say i know 50 Corps members on 1st name basis ain't that something.....had so much fun till i got struck by malaria, ain't that a bitch? had to go to the hospital, get my blood sample just to be sure and was given drugs that had no affect on me at all as i was ill for the better part of the workshop.

Malaria or no malaria, didn't let that weigh me down, went out a couple of times to KBC, played a football at the stadium with a local team and we were leading 4-0 in the 1st half alone with Coy getting on the score-sheet after a pile driver from Eli my Jewish (lol) friend. Our team played a 4-4-2 diamond formation, consisted of amateurs including yours trully playing on the left side of the attack, Olesia (a girl) playing the the middle, John also in the middle, Innocent Obumba aka PELE(left wing), Coy (right wing), Coy (defender) and Victoria and we had local team fill the remaining spots.
