Down on the Farm!

It's hard to believe this is what you see only 15 minutes outside the "city!" Rwanda is a beautiful country, and I've thought about moving out this way so many times! Our class took a trip to Mr. David's farm, the father of another one of my former students, Orla. He showed us around, and taught the kids all about the food chain, and what he grows on his farm. We learned how to grow avocados, eggplant, maize, beans, and macadamia! We got to hold baby chicks, baby rabbits and milk a cow! The highlight of the trip was when the kids started chasing the goat around the farm, and then the goat started chasing them back! It was a riot watching them try to unsuccessfully jump on the tire that the goat pulled around! One of my students pounced on the tire just as the goat took off running, so he fell back on the ground! Quite a scene! This was one of the best field trips we've ever had the opportunity to take!
