Nestled along one of Rwanda’s many steep hills, you’ll discover a modest-sized church building. The Christian Life Assembly, though discreetly positioned, accommodates hundreds of devoted congregants every Sunday.
My memories of a visit in 2022 remain vivid; I witnessed a bustling throng of individuals hastening to engage in the services.
Opting for the midday session till 1-30 pm, I was struck by the sense of fervor that permeated the atmosphere.
If you are an early riser then the first service at 8am – 9.30am or the second service at 10am – 11.30am will be the perfect match.
What is the mission of Christian Life Assembly
Christian Life Assembly (CLA) is more than just a church; it’s a dynamic and transformative community centered around the unshakable foundation of the Bible and the life-changing potential of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rooted in the belief that faith is a living force that can empower and reshape lives, CLA invites you to be a part of this extraordinary journey.
At the heart of CLA’s spiritual philosophy is its cell-based structure, designed to foster genuine connections and meaningful relationships.
These smaller groups, or cells, provide a nurturing environment where individuals can engage in open discussions, share their spiritual insights, and support one another on their faith journey.
Through these interactions, faith comes alive, and transformation becomes a shared experience.
Small group fellowships (Cells) happen every Wednesday in designated homes across the city. See the Cell section for a cell near you.
How did I know about Christian Life Assembly?
An invitation from a Rwandese friend led me to this place of worship, a proposition I embraced wholeheartedly.
Accompanied by her, I was glad to meet fellow believers.
Upon entering, ushers greeted us with warmth, allowing us to select our seats toward the back.
The wooden benches followed a gentle curve, ensuring everyone had a clear view of the pulpit.
While adorned with subtle embellishments, the auditorium stood distinguished by its three main, sizable doors through which a stream of worshipers entered.

How are the services organized?
Similar to many spiritual gatherings, the service initiated with a brief prayer and a spirited session of praise. The resonant melodies of renowned songs by Hillsong United and other contemporary gospel pieces enveloped me in a profound sense of reverence.
After the harmony of four songs, we settled into our seats, the room buzzing with anticipation.
Amid the announcements, an invigorating sermon from the Pastor took center stage.
I vividly recall his adept weaving of various Bible verses, deftly intertwining the text with personal anecdotes.
One Sunday, marked as June 19, 2022, held a distinctive place in my heart as it was a celebration of Father’s Day.
Through relatable examples, the Pastor expounded on the significance of paternal roles, skillfully connecting them to God.
“God created to be is rooted in familial relationships. By faith and acceptance of our adoption into God’s family through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus, we become an inseparable part of Him”, the Pastor added.
What happened after the first visit?
As the service concluded, my curiosity led me to join other newcomers in the church’s rear office as announced earlier.
They warmly welcomed by fellow church members. After basic introductions, they told us about the church’s cell group structure.
While I, unfortunately, couldn’t partake due to my tourist status, I found solace in knowing such a supportive community existed.
Departing the brief meeting with a smile, I sipped on a complimentary small bottle of Fanta.
If you’re seeking a spiritual community that embraces the transformative potential of faith, Christian Life Assembly welcomes you with open arms.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of the Bible, or foster genuine connections. You can embark on a journey of personal growth. CLA invites you to join this vibrant community where faith comes to life, and lives are forever changed.
Whether you’re a visitor to Kigali or a newcomer to Rwanda, I wholeheartedly endorse Christian Life Assembly as a haven for fellowship. My experience there was enriching, and should I ever return to the city, I wouldn’t hesitate to grace its doors once again.
Football, often referred to as “the beautiful game,” holds a special place in the hearts of Cameroonians. From the grassroots level to the professional leagues, football in Cameroon is more than just a sport—it’s a way of life, a source of unity, and a symbol of national pride.
This Central African nation is renowned for its rich football history, producing remarkable talents that have made a significant impact on the global stage.
If you are ever in Cameroon, ask around to watch a match. Almost every neighbourhood has several fields where people gather every evening, especially weekends, to watch and play matches.
How is football in Cameroon?
I would call myself a football lover, though I might not watch all local matches around the city. I enjoy dressing for every match if I have the opportunity to go to the stadium.
Me wearing the typical Cameroon football fan attire
Football fan attire varies widely based on the team, the culture of the fanbase, the location, and the specific event or match being attended. However, there are some common elements and trends that are often associated with football fan attire. Here’s a description of typical football fan attire in Cameroon:
Team Jerseys: One of the most iconic pieces of football fan attire is the team jersey. Cameroonian fans proudly wear the official jerseys, featuring national flag’s colors, national animal (Lion), and sometimes the names and numbers of popular players. These jerseys come in various styles, from the traditional home kits to away and alternate designs.
Hats and Caps: Cameroonian fans typically wear hats or caps adorned with the national logo or colors. These headwear items offer both sun protection and a way to show team loyalty.
How do fanatics dress to go watch a match?
Face Paint and Body Art: For the most enthusiastic fans, face paint, temporary tattoos, and body art are a fun way to display team spirit. Many fanatics paint their faces in team colors, create designs, or even replicate the national emblem. Some ladies go to extreme sometimes to braid their hair with three different extensions (green, red and yellow)as in the national flag. Football fanaticism is almost like a mini-god in Cameroon for many people.
Flags and Banners: It is very common for a football fan to carry flags or banners with team emblems, slogans, or messages of support. These items are often waved in the stands during matches, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
In other cases, some people who don’t want to look excessive wear accessories like wristbands, lanyards, and keychains also feature team logos and colors. This is a whole business during regional or global competitions.
The easiest way to know there is a match on any day is if you see many people around the streets wearing either the jersey or all of the mentioned items.
Many Cameroonians claim wearing the above listed items adds luck to the team’s victory.
Historical perspective of football in Cameroon
Football was introduced to Cameroon during the colonial era, and it quickly captured the imagination of the local population. Over the years, the sport has grown exponentially, with young Cameroonians showcasing their skills in streets, schools, and local clubs.
The Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has played a crucial role in fostering the development of football across the country, providing infrastructure, training, and support to aspiring players. Currently headed by Cameroon’s best and one of the most famous African player, Samuel Eto’o Fils, the future of the country’s football status is brighter than ever.

These leagues provide a platform for talented young players to showcase their skills, with clubs like Coton Sport, Union Douala, and Canon Yaoundé maintaining a strong presence.
Grassroots development is a fundamental aspect of football in Cameroon. Youth academies and programs run by both clubs and non-profit organizations focus on nurturing young talents, providing them with quality coaching, and instilling essential life skills.
The development of these young players ensures a bright future for the sport in the country.

National Pride and Unity: The fact that the stadium’s seating arrangement reflects the national flag is a powerful symbol of unity and national pride. It’s a visual representation of the collective identity shared by Cameroonians, and it highlights the importance of the national team as a unifying force for the country.

Thailand holds the distinction of being Southeast Asia’s top tourist destination, a title well-deserved. With its captivating blend of natural wonders, rich cultural heritage, top-notch tourism infrastructure, and seamless travel options, it’s a unanimous choice for travelers. My personal visit to Bangkok and Pattaya only affirmed this remarkable reputation.
In this captivating Asian gem, the array of attractions to discover in a week is abundant. The captivating cultural adornments along the roads left me utterly amazed. The majority of streets are well-paved, ensuring comfortable and seamless exploration.
With joy, I embraced the use of motorbikes, feeling secure as the rider provided a helmet. Opting for motorbikes proved cost-effective compared to taxis. Metered taxis and Uber offered on-demand transportation, while trains were readily accessible throughout Bangkok, with easy-to-purchase train cards at stations.
Yet, my preferred mode was evening strolls, savoring the city’s streets and adjacent parks. The pleasant weather added to my delight.
Visit the Thailand Aquarium
With its abundant water surroundings, encountering an artificial aquarium in Thailand felt natural. The SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World emerged as a delightful oasis to marvel at the wonders of the sea. A space where both youngsters and grown-ups could indulge in the joy of observing aquatic beauty.
A world of wonders unfolded before my eyes. I encountered the Seahorse Kingdom, vibrant coral reefs, thrilling shark walks, the enigmatic rocky hideout, and the captivating Shark Shipwreck. Jellies danced in ethereal beauty, while an ocean tunnel immersed me in a different realm.
Every detail was remarkably lifelike. The expansive aquarium showcased a myriad of marine species, accompanied by 4-D films and immersive underwater experiences. At the exit, a sea life shop showcased enchanting displays and souvenirs. Wallets resembled dolphins, shark pencils abounded, and creative mementos beckoned.
Market Tour
Nestled on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road in Bangkok, the Chatuchak Weekend Market reigns as Thailand’s largest. Despite a short train journey, the experience was richly rewarding. Markets encapsulate the authentic local life, and as I wandered through, a vivid tapestry of Thai culture unfolded before me. Insights into their cuisine, clothing, and way of life became tangible.
Joy radiated from every corner, unsurprisingly. Conversations flowed, locals mingled, and foreigners like me were embraced with warmth. Language barriers proved a challenge, yet some attempted discussions, bridging the gap.
Though I couldn’t explore the entire expanse, touching upon the market was a treat. A pair of exquisite pants became my souvenir, a testament to the vibrant and affordable array of clothing—brimming with colors and priced more reasonably than in South Korea.
Tucked at the market’s edge, a leather crafts enclave beckoned. Here, desires transformed into tangible creations before your eyes. Unsure of a suitable keepsake, they presented a catalog brimming with possibilities. My choice? A passport cover.
In about half an hour, I witnessed the magic unfold. My name elegantly etched on a supple leather piece, an emblem meticulously added, and sections carved out for cards. The surprise? My role was choosing the leather hue—everything else was handled expertly.
Nearly five years on, that cover remains untouched by time. Skepticism about leather quality lingered, but their promise of authenticity rang true. Amid the myriad temptations to splurge, I resisted the allure, holding onto my cherished creation.
Shop at shopping Malls
Evening shopping in Bangkok is a soothing experience, a tranquil delight. While not compelled to shop for clothes or shoes, my curiosity piqued about mall offerings. The colossal Siam Paragon mall beckoned, and I was thrilled to explore its grandeur.
At every turn, shops adorned each floor, showcasing a plethora of items. The range was astonishing, from household essentials to budget-friendly delights. Each floor held a distinct identity, be it babies, electronics, or books.
Scaling the escalators, the sheer scale left me unsurprised that Siam Paragon ranks among Thailand’s largest and busiest malls. A realm of endless possibilities awaited with every step.
Linked to the BTS Skytrain station line, Siam Center emerges as a bustling hub for shoppers seeking various wares.
Within its vibrant array, traditional Thai costumes caught my eye, adorned with deity narratives. This revelation didn’t shock me, given Thailand’s deep-rooted religiosity. Their devotion to gods and reverence for ancestral legacy stood unparalleled. Kings held an exalted place in their hearts, intertwining history and esteem seamlessly.
Pattaya city
Concluding my journey, I adhered to my tradition of exploring other cities. A swift 2-hour bus ride transported me to Pattaya, another gem awaiting discovery. This coastal haven teemed with tourists, famed for its vibrant nightclubs, captivating cabarets, and expansive beachfront bars. Foreign faces dotted the streets and shoreline, a testament to Pattaya’s global allure.
First-class restaurants and lush gardens graced the landscape, and dusk brought a serene shoreline stroll, accompanied by the soothing sea breeze.
Thailand’s offerings extend far beyond, leaving you spoilt for choice. My two-week venture barely scratched the surface.

This allows the gentle breeze and warm sunlight to gracefully filter into the bedroom, creating a refreshing and delightful atmosphere.
To further enhance the comfort, a camp armchair is thoughtfully placed in front of each tent, inviting guests to bask in the natural beauty that surrounds them. I didn’t have many days to sit there but we were told not to sit out there alone at night because we were in the wild. So whether you wish to immerse yourself in a captivating book, embrace the tranquility of the Serengeti, or simply revel in the serene surroundings, the camp armchair provides the perfect spot to do so.

Despite the tents’ dark forest green color, the clear signage and individual names make it convenient to locate your designated home-away-from-home amidst the picturesque surroundings. My tent was Nyasa, the first one behind the grassy parking lot.
As for the tent entry, the front door features a large zipper for convenient access. While this design allows for easy entry and exit, it aids privacy and security.
How does the tent look inside?
Inside
As soon as I stepped into my tent, I was captivated by the enchanting African decor and style, thoughtfully designed to provide guests with a sanctuary of utmost comfort and tranquility. I like those zebra designs.
There were many tents, those vailable in singles, twins, and doubles. Each featuring inviting furniture, a private terrace, and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. I stayed in a big tent for doubles because my cousin booked it that way.
My funny experience
On the first night of my stay at Shuhudia Adventure Camp, an unexpected encounter with what sounded like an elephant left me in a state of terror. The unsettling shaking of buckets at the back of my tent sent shivers down my spine. Frantically, I attempted to call the camp staff using the provided walkie-talkie phone, seeking reassurance and assistance. However, there was no immediate response, and my fear intensified.
Thankfully, the restaurant’s proximity allowed me to access the internet in my tent, and I quickly connected with my sister via WhatsApp. Our lengthy conversation brought a sense of comfort and distraction, helping to pass the restless hours as I grappled with the nerves and unease caused by the encounter.
Though I struggled to find sleep that night, I finally managed to calm my anxious mind by softly talking to myself and rationalizing that it was a natural occurrence in the wild. While it was a terrifying experience at the time, it soon became a humorous anecdote that we shared the following day. I discovered that such encounters with animals were relatively common during the night hours, adding a touch of adventure and excitement to the overall experience.
Now, looking back, I can’t help but laugh at my initial reaction, realizing that it was all part of the extraordinary wilderness encounter that Shuhudia Adventure Camp had to offer. It’s these unforgettable moments, even if daunting at the time, that make each safari adventure truly unique and cherished in our memories. The tent was thick so nothing could happen but I was still scared.
What is in the public toilet and inside bathroom/toilet?
Upon our arrival at night, the chilly air embraced us, and I anticipated a rather cold start to my stay. However, my surprise knew no bounds when the attentive staff at Shuhudia Adventure Camp promptly provided hot water for my tent’s bathroom. I was left in awe, wondering how this magical feat was accomplished. To this day, the mystery lingers, as I never laid eyes on a hot water tank or any traditional heating system.
Little did I know that the camp’s technology held a secret: a remarkable system that ensures warm water flows effortlessly into the bathroom each evening within a matter of minutes. It was a marvel to experience such thoughtful and advanced amenities that seamlessly blend comfort and convenience.
The warmth that enveloped me, both physically and metaphorically, during my stay at Shuhudia Adventure Camp is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of the staff. Their commitment to providing an extraordinary and unforgettable experience leaves a lasting impression, making each moment cherished and treasured.
As I reminisce about my time at the camp, the memories of that pleasantly warm bathroom and the hospitality of the staff fill my heart with gratitude.

How was the tent restaurant?
The restaurant at Shuhudia Adventure Camp was a grand sight to behold, boasting the largest tent on the premises. Its elongated structure included a charming terrace section. The terrace has cozy armchairs, creating a perfect spot for guests to unwind and relax. I cherished spending my evenings there, finding solace in the tranquility while indulging in writing. However, as dusk approached, the allure of wild animals in the vicinity made it necessary to go inside for safety.
The safety of the guests was a top priority. All the staff took every precaution to ensure our well-being. They remained vigilant and present at all times. At night, they used special flashlights to assist guests who needed to return to their rooms after nightfall. Their knowledge of wildlife and quick response skills added an extra layer of reassurance. That gave us a sense of security without being intrusive.
The tent restaurant
The restaurant’s buffet offerings for both breakfast and dinner were an absolute delight. It cateried to a variety of healthy and delectable choices.
