We spent 9 days in Amagoro with Fr. Zak and his household, during which time we were treated like royalty. I learned valuable skills in preparing African food as well as how to accomplish daily tasks without the luxury of American gadgets. When we left Amagoro and headed for Rongai, we felt as well prepared as possible.
When we arrived at Sacred Heart Boys' Secondary School, I knew we were in it for the long haul. I'll never forget waving goodbye to Fr. Zak and Bob G. as they drove off, leaving the six of us behind. It was like saying goodbye to everything familiar.
We were made to feel at home immediately by the students and staff alike. Our children quickly made friends with many of the 100 freshmen boys at the school.

We had many adventures during our stay in Rongai, which have forever changed our lives. It is my intention to relive some of those adventures with you this summer....
