Language in Burundi

The national language in Burundi is Kirundi. It is quite hard to hunt down phrase books etc but I have found a good one.

English - Kirundi Dictionary

..saying that it could be full of crazy words and I wouldn't know any different.

...just realised I had spelt Kirundi wrong... not a good start!

Premiership football clubs

I've written to a few of the football clubs to see if they would donate some pens, badges or whatever goodies they can spare for the kids at Donatien's school. I'm quite hopeful!

It is International day of the African Child on June 16th and there are competitions run in in the schools in Burundi for the children to take part. I'm hoping to be able to hand out some gifts during these celebrations so anything from the football clubs is going to be a great help.
