TAIZE RETREAT!

Over the last one week, over 10,000 youth gathered as Expo grounds in Kigali, Rwanda for the quadrennial Taize Retreat. The last one was held in Nairobi in 2008. It was a wonderful experience for many of us in many ways. First, it was the first time for a good majority of the Kenyans to visit Rwanda and to travel by road for almost 24hours. Though tiring, it was very exciting and adventurous to travel aboard Kampala Coach all the way from the Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi, through Kampala Uganda with its exquisite landscapes to Kigali, Rwanda. Long, tiring but thrilling. Did I say how many Kenyans were there? 650!! Kudos to Kenyan Youth for their enthusiasm in Christ. We were second only to Neighbouring Burundi who were more than 800 but do we say??
