paragraph one to post below . .

(you know you're in Africa when you post this thing five times and the first paragraph keeps turning out blank??)

. . the school sends an email to all the parents warning us that a hyena was spotted (no pun intended) on one of the football fields at 4 pm yesterday. I am not making this up. We are instructed to warn our children. To do what, I'm not sure. I reminded mine of "The God's Must Be Crazy" and suggested holding a tree limb over their heads to make them look more intimidating. Seriously though, it is a bit frightening to think of a hyena prowling out there in the dark and windy night as my kids walk back and forth to evening programs at school . .

Hi Jennifer, lovely to read some of your blog posts. I'll be joining you in April - (assuming everything comes together!). I'm a Paeds Emergency physician in Australia (and mum!) and will be coming with hubby Andy and 2 kids for 2 years initially. Would love to keep in touch about how you are finding settling into Kijbe. With your wealth of experience in Uganda it will be lovely to work with you, and look forward to meeting you. Mardi.

I'm praying for you. all of you, as you once again stretch your spirits into your new setting. May God smooth your way as you create your new home, keep you safe, and bless you richly. I am praying and working on that last blessing. I am so happy to be reading about your lives in Africa again. With great respect for your work. Judy om HMB
