Esther Home Family Visit - Claire





Claire, the oldest of five girls and sister to two brothers, welcomed us to her home. We were anxious to meet her father. Last time we had visited Claire’s home he was hospitalized with complications with diabetes. He is now doing better and is back teaching secondary class. Claire’s father spoke excellent English. They too came to Rwanda from Uganda in 1994 after the genocide. We enjoyed our visit with Claire’s parents and sister Gloria and shared photos of the refugee feeding last May. After a few photos we again were on the road traveling back to Kigali.

Once again we feel so very blessed to be here and to receive such warmth and love from these beautiful families. No rain today but the country is still experiencing several power outages; we are thankful for the hotel’s generator but that doesn’t keep us connected to the internet; for that we are not so thankful.
