Last Day in Nairobi (Saturday) - First day in Rwanda (Sunday)!

We spent our last full day in Nairobi shopping at the Masai market,  tying things up at the school & packing!!  The market was great!  Almost three hours of checking out all the possibilities, choosing and negotiating!  We all bought a great deal of stuff.

In the afternoon we headed out to Mathare North to tie things up at the school!  We needed to finish our order with both the Bead group and the Tailoring group!!!  So, lots more stuff to bring home in addition to what we purchased in the morning!  As well, we settled up with the tailoring group for the uniforms for our students that we ordered!  

We also were able to give gifts to some of the staff who were around.  The rest we left with the Headmaster to give to them!

A number of our students from standard 8 came to see us and say goodbye.  They sure are appreciative of the support they are getting and asked us to make sure their sponsors knew this!!

It was very hard to say goodbye and drive away!

This morning, after a crazy time in the Nairobi Airport, we arrived in Kigali.  We were joined (on the plane) by the rest of our team, John, Jack and Diane!  After getting to and settling into our guesthouse for the one night, we headed out to the Kigali Memorial Centre.  Here the group heard the history of Rwanda, the lead up to and the aftermath of the 1994 genocide.  A lot of hard information to digest!

Thanks for keeping us posted. Tell Alan and Paola I'll call Mom and Dad and let them know you are safe in Rawanda.

Sending love,
Jill
