The Project Director for our partner project in Mozambique came to visit our headquarters this week. It's been a busy whirlwind of meetings and greetings. My favorite part of the week was going with my supervisor, her husband, and Perpetua to the Washington Park Rose Garden for an evening picnic. We started our own laughing club and made the decision then and there to grow roses in Mozambique.
Another important feature of this week was Perpetua's understanding of why I want to go back to Africa. She said,"But of course, your placenta is buried in Africa." The only problem is that my parents did not plant a tree above it. I think Perpetua and I will take a roadtrip through Burundi with that mission in mind. She has an adventurous and warm spirit which suits me well.
