We were taken to St. Clare’s hostel, which is where we first understood the concept of a compound. We came in through a gate and there were a group of buildings that are dormitories for students who are going to school at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. The Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph bought this land and is building a haven for young ladies who wish to become educated. They recently purchased land next door and are in construction to enlarge this project.
We were greeted as they sang a song of welcome to us and then hot tea was taken and then a feast. All in a tiny room. The students took us on a walk after dinner to see the university and then we were taken to Savelberg Retreat Center where we have a room (with a shower and a toilet, what a blessing). We are around the corner from Sister Margaret’s convent (Assissi House). We crashed but were awake at 3 am. Our bodies are out of whack.
Thank you soooooo much for taking us on your journey. I feel every step of it!!!! What a wonderful greeting you got!. Hope you are resting well. Who know's what is next on your adventure!!
