Departure Day

The last few days have been a whirl!!  Tying up last minute details on the projects, visiting and lots of goodbyes.  Thursday we also did some more shopping!!  In the evening we were invited  to farewell events - lots of food and some really nice words said, and, of course, we were spoiled with gifts.
Friday we spent a great deal of time packing - what an interesting puzzle!!  Then we went to the Murambi Memorial.  This is a site where during the genocide many people were told to seek refuge, only to be slaughtered - 50,000 killed at this place,  a secondary school under construction.  Very informative about the event, but released all kinds of emotions in all of us!!!
Friday afternoon we drove up to Kigali, as our flight was scheduled early on Saturday.  We stayed the night in another nice guesthouse.  
Now we are sitting at the Kigali Airport - waiting for our 9 am flight which has changed to 12 noon!  Oh well - we had a long layover scheduled in Nairobi, so we have some flexibility!!  The fire last week at the Nairobi Airport is obviously causing some delays!!!

We are so excited anticipating your arrival home. Your trip sound like it was a resounding success. You have touched many lives - the Africans you have visited and taught, the volunteers on this year's team and those of us following your blog. It will be wonderful to hear Lauren's stories and see her pictures. Safe travels home. Love to Lauren and all.
