Rain

We got home from church about 1:00 pm and it was just starting to rain. Rain in January in Rwanda, what a great way to start the new year. It has been raining for about 1 hour and we have 3/4". I'm sure it would be better for the crops here in Bugesera if it would slow down a little so as to soak into the ground better. But it is rain in January so we will praise the Lord for it.
Tomorrow will start the first real work week of the new year and everyone here on the Rafiki Village Rwanda will be back a crazy pace. We are thrilled that the children interviews are going so well and it looks like everything is on track for the medical screening to be done on January 10th. It will be great to have the first 12 children on the village by the end of January.
We did a little grocery shopping after church in Kigali. I thought the bill was a little high when we checked out but we have come to find out that almost everything is high in Rwanda. As we were putting away the canned goods I saw a small (like tuna fish can size) can of Red Salmon. We spent many years in Alaska and had access to about all the Fresh Red Salmon we could eat. This can of salmon 213g or 7.5oz was 5460 Rwandan francs which converts to $10.00 USD. This had better be the best salmon we have ever had, maybe it's really caviar.
