Alicia has arrived back safely and seems to be adjusting to Canadian living again.
The roads and paths around BKU are very dusty with a red sand reminiscent of Prince Edward Island. In the latter part of my stay, I developed an eczema-type itchy rash on the inner folds of my knees and elbows. It is resolving since I returned home. Alicia likewise has broken out in a similar eruption since returning home. I think our sensitive skin is reacting to something in the combination of the red dust, sweat and heat. Mild issues that are settling well with some cortisone cream.
Our friends and aquaintances are most thrilled to hear about our adventure and help out if they can. Several folks have expressed an interest in sponsoring a BKU child, and we have had good success selling T-shirts and beads that Victoria sent back with us. Alicia also brought back some sewn bags which apparently Sister Immaculate produces, and those are a very popular item.
