From Kigali with Stories: Lukhanyo's blog 10

First day of Rwanda was good but I was tired from my flight I went straight to bed after having my supper. On the second day, the IAS conference started, this was an exciting and amazing journey for me because I met people from around the world and what I really enjoyed that the was the performance of the singer because I got watch a live performance from Rwanda and that was the best experience.

Second day of the conference, we attended an opening ceremony that was very exciting. A group of people that were there during the opening walked across the staged chanting "we will not be erased! we will not be erased" carrying boards with messages.

I networked with a lot of people from different countries like Kenya, United States of America, and a lot of people that I met were very shocked about my age, that I was only 17 year old of age.

The third day was my presentation day, I was excited and nervous at the same time, I had to present in front of people and I had to look for people and ask them to listen to my presentation, it was really fun because I met a lot of people that were very welcoming and were happy that I was there at the conference. This experience was inspiring, hearing other people's experiences and meeting new people.

I was always looking forward to the food, the food was really delicious. I love the food and Rwanda, I wish I could go visit again some day in the future.

Rwanda left a lasting impression on me. I would recommend anyone. The place is so clean and neat. My experience in Rwanda is very unforgettable, every moment was a highlight.
