Peyton and Alex</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We started the day with an early breakfast at 5:30 AM. We
boarded the bus and set off on our safari. We saw a variety of African wild
life, including zebras, giraffes, topis, water bucks, hippos, impala, cape
buffalo, and a diverse selection of birds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although we expected the ride to last five hours, we unexpectedly
arrived back at the hotel at 4:00 in the afternoon. Though the ride was bumpy,
we were all excited about the animals we got to see. After a quick rinse off,
everyone jumped into the pool. A game of boys vs girls pool basketball broke
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(The girls won <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>) After swimming,
everyone shared their stories under the stars, bringing the group closer than
ever. An outdoor dinner was served celebrating the huge strides the leaders had
made over the last couple of weeks. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Katie and Riley</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was our last day with Sonrise and therefore a bit
emotional. When we arrived at the school we finished a plan for the Sonrise
students in order for them to do our projects once we left. After this, there
was lots of socializing and random games, including taking pictures of each
other and playing wax museum. Noon time came and we gathered for a
presentation. We watched traditional African dances, songs, and modern dance,
all preformed by Sonrise students. Somewhat spontaneously, we all (the Colorado
Academy students) got up and sang “Let It Be,” by the Beetles. Then, we all
clapped and sang “We Are Family,” and everyone, including the Sonrise students,
got up and danced and clapped with us. After Katie, Riley, Charity, and Susan
gave short “thank you” speeches, we began saying our goodbyes. This was by far
the hardest part of the trip. Many CA and Sonrise students cried but we all
were able to get through this hard part knowing that we would all stay in one
another’s hearts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We were
thankful to have gone to the market after saying goodbye in order to clear our
heads. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday
dear Riley; happy birthday to you! Today was filled with celebration as we
sang, danced, and bonded on Riley’s special birthday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After breakfast and singing “Happy Birthday” to the birthday
girl, we drove to Sonrise. There, we worked on our service projects. The group
divided into smaller sections depending on their ideas. One group worked on
bringing a buddy system into play between the primary and secondary school. (Primary
school is the first six years of schooling. Later, students attend secondary
school for another six years. When you ask our Sonrise buddies, “What grade are
you in?” they would reply with, “I’m in S4,” which is equivalent to tenth
grade. Of course we had students who were in S5 and S6, too.) Another group
worked building a podium and website, so CA and Sonrise could share debate
topics and speaker ideals. The other group was planning to paint a wall that
represented the values of their relationship. The same mural would be painted
at CA. The last group was going to start a new club focused on bringing Sonrise
to the outer community and becoming involved with local charities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After everyone was done for the day, we all went outside to
play a game of soccer. It was so much fun as it joined us together. It united
us all together. I lack words to describe this moment; my emotions were so
strong, so unexplainable. These feeling seemed to appear later that night
through a different form: music. After going back to the hotel, eating dinner,
packing, and participating in a World Leadership activity, the Sonrise students
threw a surprise birthday party for Riley. We danced together, many of us
amazed with the students’ ability to “get down.” My mouth was so tired that
night from smiling and screaming on the top of my lungs to the music. We went
down to the conference room, thinking we just needed extra space for our
activity. Riley opened the door and all the students were standing there and
sang to her. Then we danced as the DJ played some music. It was just plain
amazing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last song we played was “All of Me” by John Legend. It
was not the first time we had sang it together. Standing in a circle with our arms
around one anther, those unexplainable emotions flew back. For those few
moments as we swayed back and forth, we were all united and together. We all
felt as though we belonged together; it was destiny. That was the moment when
we all realized how hard it would be to say goodbye to them the next day, but
everyone pushed that thought to the back of their minds as to enjoy the fun we
were having presently. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all had so much fun on this day, and I think Riley’s
birthday couldn’t have come on a better day for us all!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning, we did a leadership activity where we explored
which kind of leader we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We picked
and traded cards with adjectives that described important leadership
characteristics, which then led us to determine which category we connect with
the most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The four groups included
traditionalists (green), artists (yellow), idealists (red), and realists
(blue).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An interesting discussion
evolved from the descriptions of these leadership groups, and both the Sonrise
and CA students re-positioned themselves to where they fit best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone learned something new about how they
work in a group, how they get along with others, who they don’t get along with
and why as well as strategies to become a more effective leader.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was helpful to develop our projects even
more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, we came back to the
hotel to have lunch – rice, bananas, potatoes and chicken! What a surprise! :-)
Then, we went to Spark Microfinance to learn about their company and to ask questions
about their work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://www.sparkmicrogrants.org/">http://www.sparkmicrogrants.org</a><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When we came back to the hotel, Susan led a yoga nidra meditation
session for an hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the best
thing ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We needed some time to just
relax, and afterwards everyone who did it felt rejuvenated and calm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, the best part of the night was a pizza
dinner at Volcana Lounge Pizza, which was just a short walk away from the
hotel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were NO leftovers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished up the dinner with a thoughtful
ANCHOR, and discovered that lizards chase laser pointers just like cats! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
After waking up, getting dressed
and eating breakfast, we all hopped in the bus and headed to Sonrise High
school. At the school, we met up with the students and each picked a new buddy
to spend the day with. Everyone was very friendly and excited to get to know
one another. We played games so that we could remember the names of each
student. After that, we gathered in groups of four to brainstorm ideas about
the service project we would be working on through out the week. Each team came
up with an idea and shared them with the class by writing them down on the
whiteboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were not able to decide
on an idea, but we will make that decision tomorrow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Around noon we headed back to the
hotel and ate a hearty meal of chicken and potatoes, just like every meal thus
far. Yum (*SARCASM*). People were beginning to feel sick. We blame it on the
tea. Lesson learned. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
After a lovely rest of journaling,
sleeping, or playing an intense game of Uno, back upstairs for dinner. What is
it you may ask? Huh? Potatoes and chicken? Ding Ding. Winner winner chicken
dinner. Haha jokes. We like to have fun here. Heh heh. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dinner was decent but a pizza is sounding pretty good right
about now. Anchor and rest time followed. This took place in Justine and
Katie’s room because we were gifted with a mansion as a room. We talked and
brainstormed ideas about our service project. It’s coming along nicely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Its now time for bed and we all
need to rest our heads. Goodnight parents. Tune in tomorrow for our next
addition to “Adventures of Teens in Africa.” </div>

The pastor had requested that someone would speak at the
church service on Sunday. Alexandra volunteered, and she shared a passage about
the strength of God’s love from the bible. From John 4, versus seven and eight,
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has
been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God,
because God is love.” Afterwards, she thanked the school for welcoming her
fellow leaders and creating a wonderful home away from home.<br />

Here is a photo of Alex composing her words over breakfast. <br />

Hi all,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is Abel and Schneck writing the blog so don’t expect
anything special (Sorry Mom and Dad-Nick). Today, we come to you from our new
location based in Rwanda. This morning was a very special morning indeed. For
it was the only morning so far where we have been able to sleep in. The guys
didn’t get much sleep though for there was a spider the size of an African
grapefruit at full blossom in our room. An adventurous few decided that they wanted
to go to service with the amazing people from Sonrise. (see other blog entry about this) Those
who where even more adventurous stayed at the beautiful, Best View Hotel
admiring the “Best View”. Tehe see what I did there? The even MORE adventurous
decided to take a trek into the unknown land of the Market with our guide, the
one and only Joel. From this experience, Joel taught us a number of life
skills. Among those, were the skills to travel next to cars which are going at
about 870 joules per hour. For those that didn’t take middle school science,
that’s means really, really, tasty. By the way, thanks to our homie Evan
Doherty for creating an opportunity to go to a “get together” with the Rwandan
Cycling team. While we were there, we all felt like we were a dope (badum-ching). As the sun
passed what we call 12 o’clock, we traveled to through a long, bumpy,
strenuous, road that led us to the Imbabazi orphanage. Here we learned about
the life of Rosemond Carr, a woman born and raised in The United States of
America, only the greatest country in the world,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but decided to base her life in Rwanda and
help out the community based on their needs at the time. Here we learned the
history of Carr and we walked around the property which she owned where we saw
beautiful gardens like no other ones that we've ever seen before. We then headed
back to the hotel with “The Best View” in Rwanda and finished the day off and
we rested for the next beautiful day. I now sit here two days after writing
this blog looking, at THE “Best View.” </div>

PART 2 from Peyton and Riley</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These
students spoke both English and Kinyarwanda. Back at the hotel, we played a
name game and “where the wind blows,” with these students, in order to get to
know them. We went up to the top floor of the hotel to have lunch with all of
these students. Quick friends were made easily. It was fortunate because we
were headed off to our homestays, with the Sonrise students, next. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Six groups
of students were formed, each had two Colorado Academy students and two Sonrise
High School students, except for one group. Each group went to a different home
which were all in a similar vicinity. We spent about two and a half hours in
our individual homes. Families provided us with food, we talked and asked
questions, and we played games. These families didn’t speak any English, so the
Sonrise students translated for us. This made the dynamic interesting but well
worth it. The village people were incredibly welcoming and asked us to come
visit them again. We said our goodbyes to both the locals and the Sonrise
students before having dinner back at the hotel. Nighttime activities consisted
of Mafia, group conversation, and ANCHOR. Our adventures today were truly unforgettable. </div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We awoke to
fog flooding the hills and volcanoes of Musanze. It was raining for the first
time on our trip and as we ate breakfast, we reminisced about its similarity to
the Pacific Northwest. After eating, we went to the Best View Hotel’s parking
lot where we learned that our tour at the Musanze Caves had been delayed by an
hour. Spontaneously, Anna suggested the “sign game.” We sat in a circle, each
of us labeled with various hand signals. As the guesser stood in the middle of
the circle, all of the others passed their signs to each other as discreetly as
possible. We spent the entire hour playing the sign game while the locals
watched in confusion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The Musanze
Caves were next on our schedule! After waiting another 45 minutes for the tour
guide to arrive, we drove to the cave entrance. Near the entrance a youth
soccer game was being played and many people were watching. As we pulled in,
curious kids came running. We got out of the bus and close to a hundred eyes
were looking our way. For the 20 minutes that it took to put on our glove, hairnets, face masks, and helmets, these eyes were locked on us. Wanting to engage
with these children, we began singing the “hokey pokey.” Afterwards, we sang
“head, shoulders, knees, and toes,” and asked them to join. We will remember
forever how the faces of these children lit up, as soon as we began singing and
dancing. Inside the dark cave, we saw beautiful rock formations and many bats.
We came out the other side of the cave, to be greeted by our Sonrise High
School buddies.</div>

Today (well actually yesterday) we were "in transition." We had just finished our incredible experience in Kigali, and now it was time to begin a new stage in our journey. In the bus, while driving to Musanze, we got to see a new side of the city and a new aspect of Rwanda, the wildlife. As we drove through the mountains, we came upon countless monkeys and large beehives, which kept Mr. Allen truly mesmerized on the bus. We first stopped at a tea plantation, where we were met by a crowd of fascinated children and adults, alike. So far, we have had many people who have showed an interest in our presence, yet we had not seen a group this large and curious. We got to see the tea plants and the tour guide told us about the farm and its process. Though the most intriguing thing was the group of people inching closer and closer as time went by to watch us observe leaves. To avoid an awkward encounter, we sang 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' while we made our way back through the crowd. It is truly amazing how singing and dancing can break any barrier. Phenomenal.<br />
<br />
When we finally reached Musanze, we had the opportunity to visit a cultural village, where we saw traditional dancing and drumming as well as older Rwandan wedding ceremonies, the Medicine Man, the Black Smith and the Grain Grinders. Also, we were able to reenact a typical King's Entertainment, which we will leave it at that...Long Live King Schneck! Also, in the village, a man of seventy-four entertained us with his Gorilla-like antics and chants and keeping us on our toes at ALL times. We joined in on their dancing and drumming a pretty much became pros.<br />

<br />
After visiting the village, we stopped by the Sonrise School on our way to the Best View Hotel. We met some students, though not the ones with which we would be working. We got to see the campus and spend time with some of the teachers as well.<br />
<br />
Finally we checked into our beautiful hotel, with truly the best view...hehe.<br />

After a lunch filled with rice, potatoes, and an assortment
of fruits and vegetables the group divided their Rwandan franks and headed to
the market. Vendors were on the pursuit to sell all their goods, most of which
represented things straight from Africa. Money was spent, sometimes even
wasted. ;) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The group hopped on the bus and went to the music school.
After a tour and rockin' out on some snakeskin drums, the students met the
orphans. The orphans played the piano; the students played the piano. Once
again, music united the barrier that separated the two different cultures. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Americans listened intently to the story of the
orphanage, but the children were distracted by the gizmos that the students
had. The orphans were using the cameras to take pictures and were intrigued by
the string bracelets the Americans had. Though both groups could barely
understand each other, words were not needed, because the connection that was passed
even through the simplest handhold was strong enough to create an everlasting
bond.</div>

The eager group of CA leaders accomplished many things
today, including a visit to the Village of Hope, a local Kigali market, and
attending Kigali’s finest orphan music school. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a filling breakfast with pineapple and passion fruit
juice, the group piled into a bus and travelled half an hour to the outskirts
of town where they encountered the Village of Hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Village of Hope is
a network founded soon after the genocide that supports both women and children
of all ages. Walking into the main building, people sat on benches. Babies,
children, teens, mothers, and grandmothers all intensely observed the visitors.
After a brief tour of the community, which included a visit to the directors
and an on site doctor, the group was serenaded by young African teens. Singing,
dancing and clapping commenced. It broke the barrier that limited the
interaction between the groups. Each group was able to learn something from the
other. Once the crowd settled down, three women volunteered to share the
genocide’s impact on their life. Both young and old were able to reflect on how
the village has brought happiness and hope to their lives. </div>

Later did the two groups unite, teaching one another songs
from their individual nations. The American group started with Shakira’s song
that was played for the World Cup in South Africa, followed by the classic camp
songs and pop artists (Michael Jackson). The smiles and the laughs filled the
room. The feeling that hit the group of CA students was like no other
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This feeling, this exchange of
culture, this experience, this is why the students were here; this is why they
traveled twenty-nine hours. </div>

Embraced by the Village of Hope today, CA and Hope students exchanged dances and songs. Students agreed with Nick Schneck that American dancing has no skill and too much bouncing in place with a fist pump and not enough meaning or history with motions to be interpreted.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Waking up was a blast for the group
– after twenty-nine hours of traveling and hardly any sleep, everyone was a bit
slow to rise. The day started with a wonderful breakfast including cereal,
bananas, bread and jam, African tea, and an assortment of chicken
gizzards.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Leaving breakfast, we decided
to conduct our morning meeting in the gardens. The trees and flowers were
wonderful. We played a word association game, and addressed the question “why
are we here?” The activities we would have for the rest of the day would help
us answer that question.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
After our morning activities we
drove off to the Genocide Memorial museum. People were so surprised on the bus
ride there because everyone on the street would wave at you and give you these
beautifully big smiles that made your day! Everyone’s’ hands were out the
window in a matter of minutes. Once we arrived we had a tour around the gardens
and mass graves of the people who had been killed in the genocide. This
followed by a tour of the inside of the museum, detailing the full history of
the Rwandan genocide. <o:p></o:p></div>

We hopped back onto the bus and
traveled over to the first art studio of the day, eating lunch in the beautiful
sculpture garden. After lunch we got a quick tour of the wonderful art, and
then meandered back onto the bus to go to the other art studio. This studio
gave us the opportunity to create our own art in collaboration with the local
artist at the studio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We split off in to
two groups and each created our won art!<o:p></o:p></div>
