“Turifuza,” which sounds an awful lot like “to refuse (ah),” pops up quite a bit in Kinyarwanda, especially during prayers. It’s the present first person plural of the verb kwifuza, which means to wish. Turifuza (too ree-foo-zah): we wish.
Enroot: to put down roots. En route: to be on the way, or traveling. This is a chronicle of my attempt to do both of these seemingly contradictory things. I am serving in the Peace Corps in Rwanda doing Community Health and Organizational Development from February 2010 to May 2012. Located in Gisenyi, I am working on community health and development projects and with cooperatives of people living with HIV/AIDS.
