last week in Rwanda before my travels

During a nutrition training I got asked what food category urusenda (chili pepper) is in and I said, none really, its just kind of for taste, then one boy said something and everyone giggled. My driver translated for me and I guess it’s said that if you eat urusenda then your sex will be hot. Hahaha. My driver loves to make jokes and always has to explain them to me afterwards. On the way to the meeting with the youth health workers, he told me that one of the mountains was called ibisi by’umucecuru (unfertile land of the old lady, or something like that) and he doesn’t know why. He thinks that an old lady must have lived on that hill. We forgot to tell the CHA’s that they needed to come back tomorrow for a lesson on growing mushrooms (we started a mushroom project to help get more protein into a persons diet) and so we drove up the path they were walking on and he yelled out to two of the guys, “hey, give me that money back!” (we give them money for transportation when they come for a training) and the guys looked so sad and started to reach into their pockets. He then told them he was joking and they all had a good laugh.
