Bits and Pieces

Just some updates. The kids at Nyumbani are all doing well. Ali is in Kenya now for a month and visited Nyumbani. She brought copies of all the pictures, or at least the best ones, for the boys to put in their albums. She said they all looked like they had grown some more!
She's now up in Maseno working at the mission hospital run by Dr. Hardison that I worked at in 2003. She will learn so much and come back inspired I'm sure.
Today I start my new job in the HIV clinic. I'm excited, a little nervous but very ready to rejoin the world of HIV/AIDS. I am fascinated by the virus and its impact on the world. HIV here will be a whole different ball game then HIV in Africa. Just the fact that here it's more of a chronic illness and there it's acute and a death sentence for so many.
