Queen 2 Hospital - Lesotho

Today Evi and I took a trip to the hospital to visit Rorisang and the rest of the children in the children's ward. What a great experience it was for Evi. We spent about an hour visiting with all of the children in the hospital. We became quite the attraction with a croud following us as we went bed to bed. Below are some pictures of Rorisang and some of the other kids we visited.

Crime Triangle

Lately there have been a large number of robberies, muggings, etc around Maseru. Last week the U.S. Embassy hosted a meeting in which several people shared their thoughts and concerns of the current situation. Two leaders of the Lesotho Police force shared for a while and spoke of a specific high crime area in Maseru.
In one corner you have the China Garden Restaurant, in the other you have the World Food Program headquarters, and the final corner in the Peace Corps house. This area was referred to several times. I took this map off of Google Earth showing these three locations. If you look at the map there is one house right in the middle of this triangle. You guessed it that is where Leslie and I live. The only building right in the middle of this triangle.
About two weeks ago we were finally able to get a couple of Labrador's. They have been great and are excellent with kids. Please keep praying for our family and for our friends who have been personally affected by violence in Lesotho.
