Here at LIP we are approaching the final stretch. Only one week left to make a LIP donation. But LIP isn't the only thing over here that's nearing the end.
My intake group and I just celebrated our two year anniversary in Rwanda! We arrived in Rwanda on October 21st, 2010 and now that we've hit two years, it's time for people to start returning to America. I am one of the few volunteers (5 out of nearly 60) who has decided to stay in Rwanda to do a third year of Peace Corps service.
This means that I have to watch a significant chunk of my Peace Corps family move back to the other side of the world. I also have to start saying goodbyes to the people in my village; the people I've lived and worked with for the past two years. But I'm lucky that I'll be able to visit my village from time to time next year in order to check-up on people and projects.
It's true what RPCVs (Returned Peace Corps Volunteers) say about their service: the two years go by in a flash!
In preparation of my move from the village to Kigali, I am going to help make LIP a smashing success! Consider it my final hoo-rah.
Even though we've raised less than half of our target amount, we are going to work with what we've got and make magic happen. If you want to get in a final donation, you are more than welcome to do so! Even 5 or 10 dollars can help us- we certainly appreciate all support you're willing to give. If you're not into the "donation of money" angle, but still wish to help us, let me know! I'm sure that we can think of creative ways that you can aid us in our endeavors!
Our donation total is at $765 currently. Our goal is $2,000. Is it possible to raise the remaining $1,235 in the next week? ...You tell me.
