Back to work.

Greetings to everyone who has asked whether I will be updating my blog.

The answer is, "yes."

I am just searching for a way to do so that is interesting, meaningful and worthwhile.

In the meantime, though, here are a few quick bits of news.

I'm back in Rwanda, back to work with the ARC program here, continuing to support our Income Generation Program groups and Voluntary Savings and Lending Associations.

I had a wonderful summer in the US, highlighted by the wedding of my son, Steven Scroggins, to his bride, Lina Sestokas Scroggins, in Boston at the beginning of September. The wedding was beautiful, and as you can see, they make a lovely couple.



While I was in Boston I had a chance to get together with Dr. Ann Kao, whom I met several years ago when we worked together here in Rwanda and whom many of you know either personally or through my blog. Her happy news was that she, too, was getting married, on September 20, her birthday and also that of her husband, Sid. I don't have any photos of Ann's wedding but I did see a picture of the beautiful silk wedding dress that she brought back from Cambodia for the occasion and I'm sure she looked radiant.

I'm getting back in the routine here but still keeping a careful eye (and ear) on events in the United States--political and otherwise--that will have an impact on all of us even in this small country in Africa.

Thanks for reading, and visit often. I miss you all.
