Saying It With Flowers.



When ARC Country Director Barry Wheeler departed for home leave in the United States last week his wonderful housekeeper and cook, Odette, created this lovely table decoration out of petals from flowers in the yard.

The letters “BV” of course stand for “Bon Voyage.”

And now it is my turn as well, to say goodbye again to my friends here in Rwanda, to the green hills and the camps and the afternoon rainstorms and the birds that sing outside my window at exactly the same time each morning.

I will miss all of this, but mostly I will miss the rewards of doing so much good work with so many wonderful people.

Grand merci to Barry, Top, Cares, Eugene, Kebe, Yaya, Jennifer, Leah, Anitha, Theophile, Louise, Letitia, Jean Luc, Aron, Madina, Aimee, Bernard, Devotte, Odette, Bosco, Ismail, Jean Baptiste, Emmanuel, Jean Louis, Marie Claire, Susanne, Christine, Francoise, Alexis, Night, Ali, Hassan, Gaston, Daniel, and the whole ARC Rwanda staff for your incredible and amazing support.

A la prochaine.
