At 7:30 am devotions today, there was electronic music. One man played the keyboard and one played electric guitar (sort of strummed it). Then the next song was keyboard, electric bass guitar, and about 20 people sang in a choir and the keyboard player sang as well. While the choir sang, they swayed from side to side in unison. The singing was very beautiful! So yesterday there were traditional tribal drums, and today an electronic band. This is a good analogy for how I see Rwanda and this hospital. In some ways, it is very modern, but in some ways, it is still primitive or traditional.
Along those lines, here is a picture of how the poorest people live. I believe this is an abandoned dwelling, as the door and windows seem to be closed up, but otherwise it is representative of how the poorest people live. There are many buildings just like this in the poorer areas. I'm told they have dirt floors and that the family sleeps on the floor.
Jill - your photography looks great. You may end up getting a freelance position with National Geographic if you keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so, too. The children's uniforms are so blue. I really appreciate the photos and the descriptions. Thanks, Jill and Lucas, for sharing your experiences with us.
ReplyDeleteThe children's school uniforms really are that shade of blue! Very colorful.
