Visitors in late March included the Schriver family.

Dr. Michael Schriver was our Urukundo Home for Children’s family doctor when he lived in Muhanga, Rwanda, and worked at the local hospital. His wife Orlinda is a midwife who worked with us establishing our Mama and Baby project. Their children, Folke and Hilda, were babies when they returned to Denmark. How they have grown!

I thank Michael for this comment. In an email, Michael wrote: “You have a very special place in our hearts, and we are so impressed and inspired by what you do and have done in Urukundo – continuing to improve the lives of destitute children and families in the community.”

It is always a blessing when after many years good friends return for a visit.

On April 25, we welcomed Lynne Sunderland

Lynne was raised in Scotland where her Mom and Dad and three siblings live, but she now lives in London, England. She has chosen to serve as a volunteer at Urukundo long-term. She is planning to be here for at least one or two months. Lynne attended Newcastle University and her hobbies are yoga, cooking, and travel. More about Lynne in the May newsletter.

Esperance, our PR person, is now the official greeter at the airport. She is a super fill-in for Mama.
