Farewell, April

April is officially moved out as of today. She had been sticking around briefly after graduating last spring, continuing to work for the Casey foundation in Baltimore. But now she's gotten a job in Tanzania. Yes, Tanzania.


(This is one of those hold-the-camera-at-arms'-length pictures.)

She will be working on development and external relations for an orphanage. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember the name of the town, but it's the jumping-off point for most excursions to Kilimanjaro, so there are a fair number of westerners there. (Maybe the town is Arusha.) Tanzania is actually rather stable as sub-Saharan countries go, so relocating there is not as crazy as it might sound -- though it still qualifies as a major life decision, I would say.

In any case, we will miss April. Now we are only five, and the plan is to remain that way. It does mean, however, that we have a guest room (with futon) if you would like to pay a visit.
