Some of our teachers have taken some of their own food with them, but you’re not going to be able to pack enough food for a month. There is a wide range of food available, and it’s all part of the experience.
GLP Alumni: The only way you would struggle is if you don’t like vegetables. You cook the food, it is basic and plain. Also pack a few home comforts like Super Noodles or Dried Powder soup to add some flavour to your meal. Don’t forget biscuits for those days when you need a pick me up.Take some food with you, 2 tins of tuna and spices, can get what you like in Kigali, everything made from scratch.”
GLP Alumni: “I cooked my own food at the school placement. It was basic and food supplies were ample for these basics, but very limited otherwise. The local diet is mainly potatoes in all their forms, rice, spaghetti, beans (like boiled kidney bean) avocadoes and very small quantities of meat.”
