Recently a good friend of Kids Across Africa donated airline award miles for Jonathan Nimrod’s ticket to make a much needed trip to Rwanda. The work of Tim Mizura (Country Director) has resulted in Jonathan needing to meet with government officials, camp coaches, local representatives, building and construction businessmen, coffee export dealers, and a host of other people.

I received an email this week from a young person who said they would be sending a donation to the office and the amount was equal to a speeding ticket. I was quite curious as I continued to read. As I read I discovered that this young person was moving a little too quickly on the streets in their small town. (As in many small towns, families have known families for generations and well, I'll let you read between the lines.)

Don't forget to follow Jonathan in Rwanda (and the states when he returns) on TWITTER.
Thanks for being part of this adventure!

There are certain blessings that come when you are in a third world country. Life is a little slower. Good conversation under a shaded tree is more valued that a checked “to do” list. People generally walk slower with frequent stops to greet others instead of going from point A to point B in the most time efficient manner. However, there are some challenges that go along with third world countries… Life is a little slower. The “to do” list is not as valued as the shaded tree and the results are told in the unchecked boxes. With little surprise, point B is rarely ever reached.
