Patient Reunion -Each year we plan a reunion for our patients and attempt to do follow up of as many as possible. We keep Marilyn and David Of the 60 patients we have done in previous years, over 40 returned!
It was emotional for both patients and team. Recalling those we thought would never survive and seeing them vibrant and healthy was wonderful. We celebrate a wedding for Delphne and meet her husband, we see Anastasie pregnant and proud. in turn, the patients love meeting Justin Pitman, husband of Sara.
Several are in University and several are in high school. It is a tough economy to be entering the work force, but they encouraged each other and celebrated the Rwanda way with community and sharing. The patients performed a wonderful song in our honor and LOVED "Hearts of Courage" a film, by Michael Fasciano, premiered in Rwanda a few nights before.
