On the road again...

This past week was full of wrapping up the Fullerton team, preparing for the Black Rock team and a day of staff training in Stakeholder Mgt. It was a good week for organizing my life around the busy weeks to come.

Tomorrow the team from Black Rock comes and I head back to Nyamasheke for the third and final time. It's a beautiful trip, but its a long one winding through the mountains for six hours. While the team is here we will be working in two areas: home construction and home visits.

For home construction, we bring the metal sheets for the roof of a house, windows, and a door and help the family to install them. This activity will take place in the mornings since they are cooler.

(One of the Families we will be helping through construction)

Then, in the afternoons, we will go on home visits to homes of the vulnerable in the community that the churches have asked that we visit.

After the team leaves on August 8th, I will be going to DRCongo for 3-4 days (10th-13/14) to work on a newsletter for the World Relief office there.

I'll fill you in on the trip to Nyamasheke upon my return. Let's hope no more rats crawl on me in my sleep again.
