Remember the scene in the movie City Slickers? Where Curley tells Billy Crystals character that the secret to life is "just one thing"! That just one thing is my theme in Rwanda in a funny way. You see life here is very different than America. In America I enjoyed multi-tasking and working on various projects and checking off those goals on the the "to do" list. Each day I would look forward to taking steps toward planned goals.
In Rwanda "the one thing" is just that..one thing. If as my friend Isaac at Victory Orphanage says, you can accomplish "one thing" in a day you should be feeling very proud. The pace of life, the lack of communication between government organizations and businesses all tend to bottle neck the process of "getting it done." So I have lowered my expectations dramatically. If I can accomplish one thing each day I will have an amazing week! Type A personality people may find Rwanda culture frustrating! lol
