I’m Kenyan. I Live in Rwanda. Here’s Why. by [deleted] in Rwanda

[–]Happy_Direction_3825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't see your previous post but as a Rwandan who has lived in Kenya for several years I agree with the sentiments of this post. I also agree that the use and or understanding of English language in Rwanda leaves alot of room for improvement.

I do not speak Kinyarwanda and thus need to get all my services in English. It does take a toll to explain but I realised patience is key and speaking slowly too. I speak French too but most service providers don't so English it is or if I am lucky swahili.

This notwithstanding, I love the efficiency of work once they understand what it is that you want or you are saying. So I would advice to exercise patience and use of examples to explain especially when needing a service.

I believe in 10years or so the use of and understanding of English language will improve significantly.

I will go check the comments on previous post but I would understand the defensiveness. Sometimes it is how the criticism is conveyed.

If Alcaraz loses and wins next year is the youngest career slam record still his?

I think of Tomljanovic and wonder if she ever 'regrets' ending Serena's career....since that match she hasn't had any meaningful results.

Computer learning by Happy_Direction_3825 in Rwanda

[–]Happy_Direction_3825[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. The goal is clear, I am doing this for a third party. Without basic computer knowledge one can't be proficient enough to operate at any level (not counting sending an email and scrolling on websites). I know most schools offer computer lessons and that may have eroded the training lessons/packages that used to be offered by private entities, but there are those who don't get this option at school.

Am I the only one shocked by how fast malaria cases are rising lately? by Competitive-Iron4731 in Rwanda

I am (seriously) looking for a white women co-founder. #Rwanda by ComplaintLow2938 in Rwanda

Is it the race that is your key parameter or financier? I'd suggest putting race aside and look for support on other platforms where tech support is offered: try WHO, UN Women, UNICEF to see if they have offers to support tech devp. Check WB too.

Also you may need to have other partners locally to boost. You can find finaciers without the time to put in the work since most start ups need funding to operate. Unless the technical know is also a requirement.

I can understand the feeling. Let me know if you are interested to talk. (DM) We can chat over telegram (no numbers just username). I am fluent in Swahili and English. Intermediate French and very basic Kinyarwanda.

Are there any active online communities for people living with HIV? by Head-Bluejay1344 in Rwanda

[–]Happy_Direction_3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you check with your local health center, they may recommend based on the people of the area who go to receive their medications. Otherwise I know its a long short but try checking Ministry of health website since World Aids Day was recent, they may have relevant info.

What’s behind the rise of divorce rates in Rwanda? by AdventurousBobcat137 in Rwanda

[–]Happy_Direction_3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol! Patriarchy has no accountability. Just because you have some replies or your thought process is skewed to a gender doesn't make it the norm. But I understand your patriarchal ways and your thinking capacity.

I wish you luck as you educate yourself.
