Stay tuned... I hope to post pictures & narrative here, IF netbook & wifi cooperate, and IF I can upload pictures. We arrive in Rwanda on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009. I'm sure I'll be exhausted after a 25 hour trip, but maybe by Wednesday I can begin updating.
I have no idea what to expect, and no clue as to what my reactions will be. I'm so very thankful for my dear husband who encouraged me to go. I wouldn't have dreamed of it apart from his urging. This isn't a book, but I dedicate my Rwanda trip to him. I love you, Clifford!
Muzungu means white person. It is, apparently, a common shout among local people. We're told it's not derogatory - just an exclamation.
Comments from home will be cherished while I'm away. Please keep me connected, :-)

Look forwarded to hearing about your work and how you respond to being in such a radically different culture. Have added you to the part of my favorite list that I check daily so I can come along for the ride! Sylvia

ReplyDeleteBarb has almost no internet access - in fact, her dear hubby has received only 2 short e-mails from her since her arrival. And yes - she did arrive safely!
ReplyDeleteShe will try to get to an internet cafe to post her thoughts, but she is unable to predict when that will be.
Your thoughts and prayers for her are still encouraged!
