Long way home…
Bujumbura to Nairobi, Nairobi to Entebbe (spent the night and had a crazy experience with “The Russians”… ask me later), Entebbe to London, London to Seattle, Seattle to Redmond. Glad to be home.
Danny Boy
Danny is a little orphan boy who lives where we stayed in Burundi. He was found as an infant in the garbage. He has HIV/Aids. The center found a home to take him in for a small stipend. After a long period of time a visit was made to the home and they found that

Yesterday we drove all day to get to the National Reserve forest of Burundi. Dan Brose, who was a missionary in the area for 8 years hadn’t even ventured to the park… which was my first clue that we were on to an adventure. We were the first ever to make it in a Matatu
