Kinshasa Part 6 - a hard morning

We have had a pretty rough morning so far today (itis 2 pm as I write this). Joceline is completely non-comunicative with anyone in the group of us - and particularly me. How much is teenage behavior and how much is leaving home - or somehting else is unknown for now. It rained quite hard all morning and has just abated - insuring lots of time together inside :-).

I seem to remember some melancholy from Nicole prior to leaveing - and our last day here is thursday. I sometimes wonder if all of the work with One Small Step that we have been doing here - and we have been going non-stop - is making her feel left out somehow, or less special in terms of being in the family. There is an overwhelming sense of not wanting to let her down (she has been through enough) and also not lettingdown the people here that One Small Step is helping. They are all personal contacts of Catherine's and others associated with the organization, and I am basically the messenger this trip.

On a side note - I have given up trying to upload video here. The internet is simply too slow. I will link in all the video snips after I return to a faster connection.

More tonight - with photos.
