Tamara, one of the teachers at the school in Kinamba is walking with a limp and a badly bruised hip this week. At the week-end she took a trip to Gitarama, roughly 50km from Kigali.

Yesterday, Mama Sandy spent the day at SU headquarters in Kigali. She arrived at 9.30 am and left almost twelve hours later.

We were all suited and booted this morning for a trip to the bank.
