May 16, 2008

It is not easy to say good-bye, especially when the person you know has been a big part of what you have been doing.  Today we had to say good-bye to Vasta, one of our matrons.  She has been with us for seven months, and today she left to go home to her village.  There were a few personal reasons why things were not working out for her so she has left.  It was good that we left on good terms and she was looking forward to going home. 

The matron we hired a couple of weeks ago has taken over from Vasta, becoming a new mother to the children.  The children were surprisingly ok with the transition, I suppose when you have been through what some of them have then it does not seem like such a big thing.

Vasta, though you may never read this, thank you very much and Akanyijuka will miss you!
