After several plane cancellations, an extended visit and too much stress, Carol Falke, one of our volunteers and president of the Hope Made Real International Board, finally was able to head home to the USA. Somehow a flight opened up with space for her. Is she jumping out of the frying pan into the fire? I hope not. There is no safe place. Stay or go was a hard decision for her to make. We felt blessed to have her here, but as much as she loves us, she needed to be with her husband Steve at this time. We pray for her a safe journey.
Carol and Marilyn Ely, who is treasurer of Hope Made Real, arrived at Urukundo in February. Marilyn returned home in early March while Carol planned a later return.
Ready for the journey home. Carol and carry-on, assisted by Mama’s secretary Eric. He is also a driver. How about that? He wears more than one hat working at Urukundo.
Carol as she leaves Rwanda at the Kigali International Airport. She landed safely at Dulles International Airport in Virginia after 31 hours in transit. She arrived home in State College, PA, on the evening of March 27 and went into quarantine. Our prayers are with Carol and all who are facing the coronavirus.
