Water can be an issue at times in Rwanda, Ask patty and Gen about the exhilerating showers!!

Hello everyone . We are suppose to eat with our hands. Food was excellent I think it was goat, potatoes, and corn. Tom and I were having a great laugh. We are walking around with $170,000 don't know our phone number, don't know our address or where exactly we live!! Teaching is good, everyone very friendly, The nurses are tring to teach me some other language. Between Tom and I we are bilingual. We seem to be able to finish each others sentences when the other person have a mental lapse. Great experience.

We are here. Spent our first day in CHUK hospital. The staff are great, the hospital is under repair everywhere. Very different circumstances here. We cooked our first meal. It was fantastic but remember Tom and I are cooking. Our first teaching session went well. Quite a language barrier however, On travail plus far. Keep in touch via e-mail. Fantastic experience.
