So after much waiting and wondering, I’ve been told I have job with Partners in Health in Rwanda. I’m going to be mentoring students in computer programming, so that they can then work on an electronic medical records system for the country. It’s exciting and a bit scary. They haven’t figured out the details yet, but I could be leaving pretty soon, and be there for 6 months to a year. Time to start working on my French and Kinyarwanda!

I’m currently chilling in St. Louis, Missouri, visiting friends from my DTS. I’m surprised how much I like it here. Maybe I’ll live in the states some day…but only if Obama is president ;)

Will update you all with the details when I know them.

  1. That’s awesome, Rowan. Let me know how it goes. There was a time when that was my missionary plan as well – to teach computers. It never happened, but I’m curious to know how it is for you :-)
