In Kigali

We are here in Kigali and connected with Health Development International where we will be doing our work, starting tomorrow. We arrived in Kigali this morning minus two bags that contained medical supplies and Karl's clothes. The BP cuffs and batteries made it, though. The bag are lost somewhere between London and Nairobi. We hope they will be found and get to us soon. We are staying at the Cozy Guest House and our phone number is 03364704. The country code is 250 when dialing from outside Rwanda.

I celebrated my birthday today with the Community of Potters previously known as Batwa and known to Americans as pygmies. We are evaluating health needs. I'll try to post a video of the conclusion of our visit- a fine birthday for me.

Hello Pat and family! sorry to hear about your bags, hope they are found! It's wonderful that you made it safe. Ironically, just as you were entering Africa, my husband was leaving....he's finally home here with me, can't wait for you to meet him.
Take care and be safe!
