The past couple of weeks have been extra-ordinary as I have had two visitors to Kisangani. The first was Kathy, a coworker from Kinshasa who is making her first rounds to our programs and this was her first trip inland from Kinshasa. It was great to have her as she helped evaluate some of our systems and our preparation for the annual audit.
Then my coworker and good friend Peter came from Kinshasa for a four-day weekend that we had thanks to some national holidays in Congo. I was just in Kinshasa recently and now I got to have visitors come to Kisangani. Peter started the program here and this was the third time he’s visited since leaving. It’s always interesting to hear about the things he remembers from an intense year in Kisangani. He’s the one person in the world who’s had this job and it’s a blessing that we’ve become great friends. Here are some photos from the visit. The children pictured belong to the office accountant. We went to visit them on Saturday. Sunday we went to a local Catholic Seminary and ran into my friend Issa who is Senegalese and here with the UN. They’re guarding a quarry just next to the seminary that the UN is using.
