I travelled to Rwanda with World Dance for Humanity (formerly World Dance Santa Barbara) a newly formed NGO, to meet with the groups of people we have been supporting for over a year in different cooperatives around the country. The group left and I stayed behind with $1000 and an open return ticker. I have a variety of skills ranging from a Degree in Nursing, Hooping, Yoga teacher, Water Release Therapy, Dance, working with children, cooking and knew there was a use for them in this country. I followed the signs that clearly directed me to this country and to more healing in my life. What ended up happening changed the course of my life forever!!

Percorso di espatrio
Starting a business and a non-profit to support my work in Rwanda and create the life I want to live.
Its my hometown and everyone knows me, even after all these years away! I have support for what I want to do in my life. It has a rich culture and I am able to learn more about myself while living here through it.
Its is very remote which presents challenges to accessing the things I may need or want but that is not really a bad thing! I would really like some sushi though!!
World Dance for Humanity brought me to Rwanda. Once here I hosted part of a world wide dance event called Thrill The World Kigali. I began a project called "Love Hoop Rwanda" and "Self Healing Art". Now I am back in Canada to earn money and start a non-profit to build a home/centre for the dancers/children I worked with during my time there.
Beautiful energy, warm loving people and a rich culture that embraces people from all over the world. I loved the dancing, language, markets, clothing, and ease of life that is possible. I felt extremely safe all the time. There is so much untapped potential in the people and the land which makes for room to grow and an ease of which things can be facilitated. Lots of hard working people who want to be doing, acting and who want to share their lives with you.
Divide between rich and poor is extreme and challenging to be around when one wants to help but knows money is not the answer.
