How Can I Return After All This Time?


Back in Kigali after a great long  Christmas break… but an even longer time since I've written or photo "docked" in many months! 


Actually I'm 8 months behind so I will try to consolidate! 

 So.  let's try to catch up… Living in Rwanda has been and is a rich experience with people.  Some, especially from AIC.. the Africa International Club are brief acquaintances but others have become friends of the heart!  The end of June found many of us parting ways for at least a time and others for a long time. 

JUNE!

Some of the girls.

Shana and Erik..  just moved to Georgia
  Georgia. the one closer to USSR not the USA.

Ceren was the President and Marion the VP and
I was the secretary of the club this year. Great ladies!
Ceren and Mirjam have both left Kiglia at this time.. 2015. 
Miss them both more than they can know!

 Bruce had a Birthday!   

Roger and Faith came for his sleep over.. ha!   
 
Then we went to Jangwe Lodge for a short get away. Total peace and quiet..
not even very good internet but asweet place, 
great owners and interesting guests! 



A SURPRISE VISIT  FOR KOFI! 
Hi mom came to visit him from Burundi..  They hadn't seen each other in over 3 years.
It was a very teary reunion-- but wonderful.  


July --a really BIG MONTH! 

Another new place to visit! 
A visit to Agahoza Shalom School on their Stand Up and be Counted Day!
 A private school set up as small living communities all learning together.
Here with the founders husband and son standing next to JC in the center in the jacket!
A 4th of July Party at the US Embassy
Love this picture of George!   Some have called President Kagame
the George Washington of Rwanda!  The musugu in the blue
shirt is our terrific Consular at the Embassy!  They guy behind the painting, the artist!
And waving the flag is our American Ambassador and his wife, Cindy on the left … along side of Leoni, the Dutch ambassador and her husband…These are two great couples and great friends for all who know them. 

It was a festive evening!




The Kigali Airport Upgrade!  
This is George MacDonald… Manager of the project and my friend Kim's, hubby!


Just getting there….  completeion pictures will show up soon.  Love the Mosaic!


And last but not least the beginnings of the new
Dental Clinic at Urkundo Children's Home

The first new dental chair in its new location.


A gift from a friend in Pa… to open the new clinic. 
 And yes… I'd say Mama is pretty happy about it! 

And this was just the beginning of the summer. 
While all of these things were exciting… it was the end of July that brought great joy to many….

Check out the next Blog to see what happened.

The First Ever….?

love,
margie
