I have never been around people who were more excited about my birthday than the group I'm with here was. It took me by surprise, especially since I didn't really know these people. People were looking forward to it days in advance, and were wishing me a happy birthday all day. I had only met the Rwandan delegates the day before and even they were so generous in giving me hugs and birthday wishes. One made me a little card and then a few others signed it. Another went and bought me a birthday card while we were out. Also, Jesse (Program Director) and Silas surprised me with a cake. There were no forks so we got down and dirty with our hands. It was a sweet gesture.
The plans for the evening were to go to dinner and then to a club, but after dinner we were all SO exhausted so we took a rain check on clubbing.
All in all, it was a great birthday. All the American and Rwandan delegates made it very special for me. And the emails and facebook messages from my loved ones back in the U.S. also made it special :)
