点评:Wow! As a family with 2 kids (aged 17 & 14) we decided to include an Azizi Life homestay in our Rwanda holiday.
We arrived to the new Azizi Life HQ in Muhanga in the afternoon, and were greeted by Bona (who was our guide and interpreter for the homestay). We instantly knew we were in very safe hands.
We drove to the village about 20 mins, where we would be staying with Alice, Jacques and their 3 kids in the Abarikumwe cooperative. We also had 2 other ladies Flori and Sylverie stay with us.
We did a brilliant village walk with lots of curious locals, we helped prepare traditional dinner of corns, potatoes, vegetables and uggani made with cassava flour. Hard work with very basic equipment, but very tasty!
This is a truly authentic experience, no frills and extremely basic (no electricity and outside pit loo). But wow! What an opportunity, everybody was so welcoming and our kids enjoyed playing with the other kids. We sat around until midnight chatting with our hosts, with Bona doing a great job of interpreting. Lots of laughs and we shared some gifts we bought from UK.
We slept in 2 rooms, with a mosquito net and enjoyed breakfast together next morning before saying our goodbyes. A night which none of us will ever forget!
翻译:哇!作为一个有 2 个孩子(17 岁和 14 岁)的家庭,我们决定在卢旺达度假中加入 Azizi Life 寄宿家庭。
下午,我们到达位于穆汉加的新 Azizi Life 总部,受到博纳(Bona)(他是我们寄宿家庭的导游和翻译)的欢迎。我们立即知道我们处于非常安全的状态。
我们开车大约 20 分钟到达村庄,与 Alice、Jacques 和他们的 3 个孩子一起住在 Abarikumwe 合作社。我们还有另外两位女士 Flori 和 Sylverie 和我们住在一起。
我们和很多好奇的当地人一起在村庄里散步,我们帮助准备了传统的晚餐,包括玉米、土豆、蔬菜和木薯粉制成的乌干达。工作很辛苦,设备很简单,但是味道很好!
这是一次真正真实的体验,没有多余的装饰,而且非常基本(没有电和室外厕所)。但是哇!多么好的机会啊,每个人都很热情,我们的孩子很喜欢和其他孩子一起玩。我们一直坐到半夜与主人聊天,博纳的翻译工作非常出色。大家欢声笑语,我们分享了一些从英国买的礼物。
我们睡在两个房间里,有蚊帐,第二天早上一起享用早餐,然后告别。一个我们谁都不会忘记的夜晚!
