No, no no no, maybe you are afraid! Rwandans are friendly and are nice people to be and cooperate with! However, you must be careful, conymen are evrywhere, you give us your contacts, we will be the firsts to entertain you, don't feel lonely, we are all ones, africans, human beings. Burundi is our neibour, we share alot including culture

Hi

I am also new to Rwanda, just starting working here a week ago. Would also like to network and get to know some people. It's also difficult for me with the language barrier as I am a South African and speak english only.
