Dear Folks-true to schedule the power went out in the midst of journal club tonight at our apartment-and so a romantic tone was set to a lively evening of discussion of morphine usage. The residents came over after work, snacked and then got down to some serious discussion about the barriers that exist in treating pain in Rwanda. Bona calls himself MORPHINE MAN, and Christian was wearing a t-shirt that said Jesus. On top of that we are going to a restaurant next week called Heaven for our farewell dinner.
As a very touching finale to the evening speeches were made paying tribute to Justin-who all agreed has been an amazing teacher. Justin responded in with a heartfelt tribute to the residents, who work incredibly hard under very difficult conditions with little in the way of supplies and supervision.
Tomorrow we are heading off to Butare again-a 2 and a half hour drive from Kigali-and Lynn will be writing the next blog-regarding one of her pet beefs-which we will be experiencing at 0500 and 0600 in the Credo Hotel.
Take care folks
Love

I am handing over to Lynn-who has a particular beef to get off her chest-
So on to Lynn
Hi Everyone
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are all having a great experience and doing great work.
I am quickly taken back to my own Rwandan experience with Jen. Fantastic memories all my good friends in Rwanda. Please give my best to Paulin, Bona, Theo, Christian, Theoneste and all the staff and resident. An extra big hug to Esperance please.
Keep up the good work, travel safe ... And have a couple of mutzig for me.

Well, in the spirit of cliff hangers, now I have checked in three times to see if Lynn has written about what bee is in her bonnnet... three weeks gone by already... so what is the scheduled activity for this weekend...
ReplyDeleteHave a good trip to Butare!
