Friday October 21 2010 (I messed up on the previous dates)
As you can see by the date I messed up on the previous BLOG dates, I am having trouble getting my days straight.
We had another great day in a village in a different direction about 2 hours outside Kigali. We installed two more rooms of equipment in record time, about 1 ½ hours. But we waited for 2 hours for the Medical director to show up, once he arrived and we showed him what we had done, it was time to return to Kigali.
On the way back Drew wanted to take us to an Jewish orphanage founded by a woman from New York, that housed 500 teenagers. I was tired and in no mood to take a side trip but said OK. I’m glad we did go, it was an incredible complex with individual houses for the orphans, a school, greenhouses and a farm. We arrived just before the founder and we had a meeting with her and her staff, Drew had been trying to meet with her for years and it was no coincidence she was there when we arrived. We talked about setting up a dental program for the orphans and she was insistent any involvement had to be long term, she was not interested in a one time deal. The ground work was laid for us to begin a relationship for the long term.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we go in a different direction to install 2 more rooms of equipment.
Keep the prayers coming, Blessings Jeremy
