Pictures from Kigutu: Part II

My time here will come to an end shortly. While it is true that soon I will not be physically present here in Kigutu, it is equally true that Kigutu will travel with me wherever I go. It will remain in my heart and my mind forever. The joy that it has brought me, the incomparable experiences, the new friends that I have made will always remain a part of me. But these six weeks in Kigutu are for me only the beginning. I will be back next year to work in the clinic, and the year after that, and... I will be back until I can no longer put that stethoscope around my neck, and do what I love so much to do: be a pediatrician.

I have so much left to say about my time here, and virtually no time to say it before I leave. However, I will say it, and the blog will go on until I say everything that I want to say. But, in the short term, I will be in transit for a few days. Therefore, there may be a gap in blog postings. But don't go away. There is far more to come, and I promise you won't be disappointed by what does come.

I thought that prior to my leaving, I would share a few more pictures with you.

This is a picture of a little boy who had aspirations of becoming a drummer. I think he is well on his way.

This is a group picture of many little boys posing for a picture while the drummers marched off into the distance.

This is the joy that is Kigutu: the drummers drumming and the girls dancing.

This is a a picture of me and my two friends, Elvis and Melino, as I work on my computer. On my left is the little girl with the abdominal pain, whose father had previously sought the help of the mupfumu. She is fine now, and should go home tomorrow.

And, finally, this is "fast hands" Muganga Petero doing what I've always wanted to do: be that little drummer man.
