Our First Visitors









Our first visitors were our friends, Mike and Heather, from our church in Indianapolis. They had planned an African vacation for this summer and just a couple of weeks before we left, they realized that they would be in Rwanda at the same time. In fact, they arrived in Kigali just a few hours after we did and we met them at the airport! They spent a couple of days tracking gorillas and then came to spend a few days with us at Kibogora. We're so glad they did!










While Mike and Dave connected all things electronic, Heather helped the girls and I clean and sort the schoolroom. It was really more the other way around! Thanks to Heather's organizational skills, our school room is ready to go.



















Megan and Abby try out their desks.











Heather puts the finishing touches on a bookcase.










We all worked hard, but there was time for a little fun.











We all spent an afternoon at Kumbya, the place on Lake Kivu where we go to swim. It is about 3 1/2 miles from Kibogora.



















































On the way back we saw a group of these monkeys in a banana grove.












We also saw a beautiful sunset.
