Bringing Health in Difficult Situations
Greetings from Gisenyi, Rwanda today. Today’s agenda is going to have some mountain top experiences and some deep, dark valley experiences as well. The plan for today starts us out in the valley — we are going to spend time with woman who works with the street children of Rwanda, administrating a technical school with lower functioning children. We will be baptized into an understanding of the poorest of the poor and the difficulties encountered trying to help children who watched their loved ones be dismembered and murdered.
The afternoon will take us to a National Park for our first true experience with the natural beauty of Rwanda. Hopefully we will get glimpses of a chain of volcanoes that are on the Rwanda-Uganda-Congo border and maybe we will sight a mountain gorilla, an experience some of our group will more fully enjoy following the educational component of our mission.
I wish you well today!
