As you read this, the CHI Team (Carmen, Joff and Pauline) will be leaving Rwanda and heading north to Uganda. We will have flown, driven, been canoed across a lake and walked thousands of steps. No doubt we will have consumed endless boiled eggs and bananas and will have laughed and cried, sometimes both at once. The trips to see the projects are always emotionally charged. You can follow our travels on our website - www.christianhope.org.uk/rwanda-uganda-2024 , or via Facebook or Instagram.
Please leave messages for us so we know you are watching, and praying!
Here's our "planned" itinerary for February (nothing ever really goes to plan on these trips😊) :
