Hi Team heart. My thoughts are with you as you take on this great task! Sue and Leslie, I can't think of a better way to use your unboundless energy and goodwill. Represent! Bill P.
It sure looks like day 1 was a full day for everyone, including some very late night postings! Keep it up. I'll be watching for the daily updates. Great job, everybody!
A picture is worth a thousand words! Keep up the great work with the photos, videos, and journals. We're thinking about all the great things you are doing and it helps to be kept up to date on this important mission.
Hey Brenda, Sorry I did not get a chance to wish you well before you left....What "The Team" is doing is great and shows everyone that people really do care. I wish you and "The Team" all the best and please stay safe!!!...Harold

Hello Susan Gabriel and team heart! As your operation gets way, it appears to me you are mending hearts and lives both inwardly and outwardly...for the Rwanda people and for yourselves. I am learning a great deal from the telling your experiences and thank you for this. Sarah Doherty (Susan's twin sister)
As a writer within Public Affairs at Brigham and Women's Hospital, I am honored to have the opportunity to accompany a dedicated and selfless group of clinicians on this mission to Rwanda. I will update this blog daily during our time in Rwanda with video clips, posts from myself and other team members and photographs taken by Diane McCormick, owner of www.McCardinalPhoto.com, who is volunteering her time and talents on this trip.

How wonderful to "see" all of you in action. Anxiously waiting to hear that the second wave arrived safely.
Continued good wishes, and prayers.

Paraphrasing Oliver Twist: "Please [ladies,] I want some more [pictures]".
Stop taking pictures and get on with the work. Aranki
