Refugee Camp for the second time

The kids are so excited and welcoming. Almost every child asks 'what is your name?', 'Where are you from?',  ' Do you know Rooney?'(a soccer player from Manchester U), and 'How old are you?'  Other than that, they don't speak much english.

 I took a picture of the girl on the right and her baby last time we were at the camp. I develope it in Kigali and was able to find her and give her the picture of her and baby Fiona.  She and the entire market place were so excited to see it. And as you can see, I was pretty happy to be holding her beautiful little girl again!

Grade 1.  Over 40 students in one class. 

Christmas in June!  Adorable
This is a view of the camp.  It's about a thirty minute drive up into the hills from the town of Kiboye. This creates a great deal of seclusion and seperation between the people living in the camp and much of the outside world.
