Visiting Nyabisiga

We left early this morning to Nyabisiga. After about 40 minutes on the main road we continued our journey for about another hour and half on a dirt road, trying to avoid pot holes and diches. Today we brought a diplomate couple, Frederique and Richard from the Dutch embassy, Maria, a volunteer for a large health project, Baptiste, our compound manager and Rich and Robin, fellow missionaries in Rwanda and their two sons Cory and John.
We visited some of our sponsored families that finished or are finalizing their recently build homes. It was great to also hear the impact sponsorship makes on people. Wow.

While visiting Thatien's house Nani and Zoey caught the little chicks by themselfs! They are becoming skilled animal catchers! Even Yaida was curious enough to pat the chicks.

This little boy followed us wherever we went. Through the wholes in his shirt we noticed badly burned skin. Poor guy. When we asked himwhat had happened he told us he got burned by boiling water. He was very shy and embarrassed about the burns, trying to cover his skin.

Frederique had some cloths with her to hand out. She called the boy and had him take off the rag shirt and put this nice shirt on him. He did not stop smiling... What a joy this boy had!

Leuk die kipjes. De meiden zijn ook nergens bang voor hé?
Jammer van de lekke band.

Liefs.
