Saturday, June 11th: Today I am spending the day working, while the rest of the group returns to the Nyamwegabira and Nyakatare clinics so that Kristen can meet the staff and perform an assessment from the clinical perspective. It is Paul’s job to update Kristen on what we have learned about each of these sites.
I must say that I am very homesick to see my wife and children. Whenever I am able, I grab a few moments down at the hospital (where the bandwidth is adequate) to skype. Being able to see my family while we talk, no matter how bad the connection, makes the time away bearable. A few times I have walked around the hospital carrying my laptop with skype running so that my family can see the people and surroundings. I know that taking care of four young children on her own is very challenging, and I am thankful I have a wife who is so selfless to allow Paul and me to do what we can here in Africa.
