Rwanda Arrival and first day.

We have all arrived safely in Kigali, having driven through a raging tempest to reach the airport it was quite a contrast to be deposited in a very warm and humid Kigali.

It is wonderful to be greeted by all the sight sounds and smells of our dear Rwanda and the warm smiles and hugs of everyone we have met over the first couple of days. The blossoms on all the trees was very striking after coming from a very wet and bleak winter in England. 

Yesterday was spent recovering from the flight and generally sorting ourselves out. So today has been our first work day as such.

So some positive things have happened, all the health workers have been trained before we arrived and a date proposed for the distribution of the filters.

Jonathan arrived in the early evening with the team from Peterborough. They are a lovely group, Jonathan was really relaxed and pleased to see us. The group had had a good time doing house building and teaching. I met two doctors who had been doing some teaching so it was good to sit down and find out what they had been doing. They had a celebratory meal. We spent the evening trying to get our net books to play a video. We finally succeeded.

So to bed after a very busy day.
