Refugees were slowly making their way through the flood plain to the feeding area. To get out from under the sun they crowded together under a nearby isolated tree. The Esther girls mingled among them – at one point Claire started weaving a basket.
Emma and the camp director spoke to the refugees and introduced us. They clapped in appreciation and they were so proud to have one of their daughters of the camp (Maria) have this opportunity. Once again I felt the tears sting my eyes and I was deeply moved.
We arrived back in Kigali after dark, exhausted, hungry and our hearts were full. It is hard for one to imagine the greatness of it all and the powerful impact that this act of giving has. We are truly blessed to have had this opportunity to share this great day with the Esther girls and our friends.
This day was our gift to our new daughter Maria and her extend family at the refugee camp. Once again we are reminded and appreciative of all we have been blessed with.
