Hello dear friends.
It's been too long! I've had quite a number of things I wanted to update, but time is just running out these weeks. Some highlights: We've been at a school for disadvantaged children and arranging a party for them. Man, that was wonderful. These kids were deaf, blind and had other disabilities, but had the biggest smiles and such grateful hearts. And playing soccer on a bumpy field with mud puts and cow doung, to avoid is quite an exciting challenge.
Then we had visitors from the FOCUS guys in Kampala for a few days here in Bushenyi,
before the 6 of us headed for a weekend in Rwanda. We visited quite a lot of memorial places from the genocide that took place only 12 years ago. As I met people in the streets I couldn't help thinking; "what have you seen or what have you experienced?" Being at the Gisozi memorial place, getting the whole history with the throughout planning of the genocide, was beyond comprehension.
This week there are many American people staying at our compound in Bushenyi. Quite funny, because people think they see Ann and myself everywhere. (Since most muzungoes all look the same...)
The photo is from a wonderful day we had yesterday, helping out at Compassion International, with orphans and voulnerable children. Playing with about 100 enthustiastic children. Life can't be much better than that.
A wonderful christmas to you all!
(Will try to keep updating during holidays)
Love from K
