Distributing school supplies, goats and much more!

Hello all!

I have such a short time to explain so much! I'll definitely make a much more detailed post in the coming days when we have more time. Our time in Musanze, Rwanda is coming to a close and it's been incredible. Yesterday, we gave goats out to ten families, and their faces and hugs more than crossed the communication barrier. Later in the day, we had primary schoolers bring their report cards to us, and in exchange we gave them two new notebooks and a pen or pencil for the coming semester.

Today, we were in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We visited an orphanage in Goma, which is much like a modern day Pompei. It was destroyed by a volcano in 2002 and hasn't recovered. The streets are lined with volcanic rock, and other than the city center, the town is in shambles. There are 16 orphans there that are fed and clothed and given a place to sleep. Unfortunately, there are 200 more about 75 km north in Masisi, a really dangerous area due to fighting. They're trying to bring them down, but now they just don't have the funds.

I have to run, but I'll update you all more in a few days, and will have some great pictures of goats and kids (ba-dum-ch), and even one with 10 goats, 15 chickens, 6 Italians and us two in the back of a pick up truck!

Cheers!
