From Jeff: working on the Farm

Hard at work...

From Jeff: Muckha Muckha...

That sound of heavy breathing is me finishing Muckha Muckha (morning run). Now, off to the farm to work...
You ask, where is everyone else from NY/UK? Answer: Still sleeping!! :-)

From Jeff: Chess anyone?

What a day! We were greeted with such a warm reception. Everyone hugging and welcoming us. I was shocked and pleased at how much my last trip made an impression on them! They were quoting me and using many of the management techniques we taught...
We had a staff meeting with the entire village- you really get perspective at how beautiful this place is when you interact with the staff. Truly selfless human beings.
When it rains here it is LOUD, loud, loud!!
Gave Alfonse a big hug from the Greenblatts and Mary- he was happy.
After village time there was the championship match for the two chess finalist. They walked in like it was a boxing match. Absolutely classic!
Right now, Anne, Tamar, Angelo and I (Crissy is snozing)are reviewing the day and preparing for tomorrow, which starts at 545am for "muchka muchka" the run around the village while chanting...

From Jeff: Touchdown in Rwanda

We've just landed and are on our way to the village. Everyone is excited! Thought for a few minutes that our bags didn't make the trip, but in the end it was all good.

With just a few minutes until we leave for the airport, testing the blog.
Very excited to be back at the Village! :-)
