Merry Christmas from Kigutu
Christmas is quite different here in Kigutu! No doug firs, no Santa. But plenty of drumming! Life here is heartbreaking but full of hope. I’m glad to report that the child pictured in some of my photos, Liesse, has consistently been getting better, and that Sentia, the girl I wrote a short story about (soon to be on the website), has moved on from nutritional milk to eating food! It’s quite the celebration here, and I’ve posted the below video as a testament to what “excitement” means in rural Burundi: energy. Lots and lots of energy.
