Visitors from the US

It’s been a fun couple of weeks here at Namumu as visitors from the US have been coming and going.

First to arrive were Nathalie Rodriguez and her father, Dr. Rodriguez, coming to us from New Jersey. The Doctor stayed for around a week and mostly worked with Saviour, the girls’ caretaker and assistant nurse, in the clinic. Nathalie, who will be staying with us for a few more weeks, will be mostly working and teaching at the Namumu Community School.

The gang from Park Lake Presbyterian Church in Orlando, Florida has come and gone. We had a great time together. It was nice watching Alex, Ros and The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Bill Warlick, the three PLPC members, dive into all things Namumu related. They were excited and energetic and were clearly making an effort to form relationships with the Namumu children and staff. It was nice to see and be reminded that the relationships formed through Namumu’s partnerships are just as important as the projects that we undertake.

So, I got to catch up with the whole Park Lake Gang. And I got to soak up some wisdom from Bill, who might just be one of the wisest men I’ve ever met (everyone who has ever spent time with Bill just nodded in agreement).

Shout out to all my Park Lake homies back in Orlando, I hope all is well.

Coming next will be John Hathaway and the team from the Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church in Texas. I can’t wait to see you guys.

Shout out to all my WCPC homies back in Texas also.

So, Dr. Rodriguez, Bill, Ros and Alex, it was fun.

For all those coming soon, we’ll be looking forward to seeing you. Travel well.
