I neglected to give the website for more information about the Gala. It is October 17, 2009 and the website is: www.oneliferwanda.com.

Back in the USA - Now What?
It's been a month since I've posted something. I would like to say that all eleven of us are busy doing nothing. Well, Mark S. took off for another 10 hour flight for business, Mary and Struan are back in school, and the rest of us are busy working and all being busy looking at our thousands of pictures taken narrowing them down to maybe 100?
Many of us are wearing many hats these days and I think some of us could top the Cat in the
Hat hats he had on.
On October 17, 2009 we will be hosting with a lot of others a One Life Rwanda to raise funds for the Sonrise School. We spent time there this summer and are looking forward to a fun evening of celebrating life, enjoying the portraits painted by the Sonrise School High School students and raising funds through a silent auction and Rwandan Market Bazaar.
That is all for now. We are doing what we can to stay in touch with each other. Going to the same church helps a little but I miss my new Saturday routine (coffee with the girls). On the last day in Kigali before we flew home the long way through Ethiopia, Maureen, Stacey and myself took off for the Serena Hotel for a western style buffet breakfast and then shopping followed by sitting down to coffee at the Bourboun Street Cafe. Others went to the Saturday market and others did whatever. It was a nice free morning and you had to stay in groups of two (at least you weren't alone).
So until next time, I will leave you a photo taken during our debriefing from our mission trip. We went to Uganda to Queen Elizabeth National Park and on our safari, we were 10 minutes from the equator where north meets south. The weather did not change (I tested it) but I didn't take some water to see which way the water swirled. So like most American tourists on a "family vacation," what else do you do but even the axis of the globe for a few minutes. Our lovely guide joined us as well to make it a six and six even for the north and south.
God bless you.
