Caroline And Meghan in Rwanda: in kenya

Meghan and Caroline are returning to Rwanda to work at Umuryango, a home for former street children! We intend to establish a counseling program for the boys, as well as implement some expressive arts therapy, and create profiles for each boy documenting their "story." Meghan will also be doing some research for her thesis on ritual and healing. Upon our return, we will utilize some of their artwork to develop products to sell and generate income for the new counseling program. Click the links above to learn more about our plans!

We have raised some money, but are still several thousand dollars short. Please feel free to make a contribution to the cause... Even five dollars would mean so much! Information on donating is below on the right. We appreciate all of your thoughts, comments and support.

Below is our blog, which we will use to update you on our progress!

in kenya

Hello!
I am writing from the Nairobi airport. Our flight, which was supposed to leave at 8:10 am was "downgraded". Not exactly sure what that means, except that we could no longer fit on the plane and have been booted to the next flight which is four hours and does not put us in Kigali until somewhere around 2 pm. Meghan says that this is "an opportunity to practice patience", but I told her I'd rather not. We will see the kiddos eventually, but it is frustrating to have to be delayed another five hours. Anyway, all is well other than that.

Flights were long, but fairly smooth. etc...

Will update once we get to Rwanda.
