Tonight is my last night in Kigali. The last few days have been quiet -- planned trip for Burundi called off because of the security situation, so with no plans, reading, writing, and one last visit with the children of AMAHORO. There were 300 or 400 children having a great time. I interviewed some children. Heard stories that are heart breakers. These children as so very brave.
Also one boy I've gotten to know had wonderful news. He graduated from secondary school a short time ago. His scores on the final exams were high enough to gain him free access to the main Rwandan university -- in Butare. This boy has no family - has persevered - and returns to AMAHORO to lead songs and games.
There is much for me to ponder about Rwanda and, by extension, the US.
Family and friends, love, and see you soon.
