The picture above shows a friend we met on the way to breakfast this morning.

Above Clare & Chris enjoy a relaxing few moments after breakfast outside our accommodation.

Well, after rising at 3am and flying from Edinburgh to Brussels and a long flight to Bujumbura on Friday, we have arrived safely in Burundi.   We were picked up at the airport by Frederic from Rema and Pastor Leonard from the Hope Centre and taken to the Roman Catholic residence Mont Sion (Mount Zion) have had a restful night and a god breakfast and we are ready for the day.   We hope to visit the Hope Centre this afternoon to say hello to the children, as well as a local Government Official called Jean (John) Samadari.   We will also spend some time talking with a dental surgeon called Dr Mutare.
