Bujumbura, Burundi or Bust?
A few weeks ago while checking my email I noticed a new message from Frank and Carol Ogden, a missionary couple to Burundi. I had met them a few times before, once when I sent supplies with Frank (he's a surgeon) and another time at a missions event when both of us where scheduled to speak. The message was titled invitation to Burundi! As as I read it I could hardly believe my eyes, they were inviting me to go and work at Kibuye Hospital in Burundi, a sister hospital to Kibogora (where I had taught my trauma curriculum in Rwanda)> They wanted the trauma curriculum and anything else I might be able to teach!
The origonal proposal was to go in February. Of course I told them I was interested but I would have to work things out with my own students here in Seattle. I recieved a call from last night with more information. They asked if I would be willing to teach a few classes at Hope Africa University in the nursing and medical schools there. They assured me that dates could be more flexible. It seems that the school year in Burundi begins in February and ends in December. The students at HAU would be in session while my own students at NU are on break. This could work!!!!
