My first day in Africa
Hi All.
Had a great first day. Went to a country club and did a 5k walk around a golf course. Got up close and personal with Monkeys! They were all over the course like pigeons would be in NYC. It was awesome. Unfortunately, cameras are not allowed in the Country Club. I am going to a game preserve tomorrow and I will send pictures. This country is beautiful. The people are gorgeous. They all have big eyes and high cheekbones. They are very courteous and they say I talk too fast. Imagine that:)
Nancy has a great apartment in a diplomatic compound complete with iron gates and security. I am very safe. Will be seeing more of the city tomorrow including a visit to the slum area. Can’t wait to meet the nurses in the hospital. We have a full training schedule but I am looking forward to it. Hope all is well back in the States. Stay tuned!

Dear Sister,
Welcome to the Motherland. As you are experiencing, East Africa has it’s own beauty. Have a great trip and take plenty of pics, but most importantly, help our people to help themselves. If anyone can do this, it’s You!

Back in the motherland!! Wow!! How wonderful! Sadly its for something so sad and tragic, however, I thank God that you and the others are available to help those that will be doing this work over there. We in the states need to appreciate all of the services available to us at a moment’s notice, that we take for granted.
God guide and bless you all.

Thank God you made it safely. I am sure it is a beautiful place and a wonderful experience. It won’t take them very long to know a blessing has been sent to them and if anyone can facilitate change, you can. Enjoy.
