Emile, our health education specialist, his wife, Séraphine, and their daughter, Graciella, had me over for dinner last weekend. Took my second taxi ride (still at muzungu prices…although I found out gas is nearer to $9 a gallon, rather than $7). Again, I was served a lovely meal which included this salad, something they know I appreciate.
Emile will serve as our interim program director. He calls me his “teacher” (umwigisha in Kirundi) because he knows limited English and has asked me to help him use it conversationally. He’s doing beautifully, and I especially admire his guts for just going for it. I’m very timid with French, but am learning to be bold like Emile.
