Out of touch for next few days

Today-Thursday is like our Friday, end of the work week. Tomorrow we head to the capital, Khartoum, for a tour, accompanied by the Director of the new cardiac centre. It will be a good opportunity for us to ask him many questions in our on-going efforts to gather information. Midday, we are going North to see the pyramids! Check out www.italtoursudan.com to see where we are staying. We are all very excited. We will not return to Medani until late Saturday. It is unlikely that I will have access to a PC so there will be a lull in my journal entries - will get back to it on Sunday.
Hello to the Sisters, we are all so thankful for this opportunity.

Hi to you all and I hope you have a safe trip tomorrow.
I think I can speak for all the people on the blog when I say we look forward to some more pictures of this part of your trip.

Hi all,
Just a quick note to echo Gord and Tammy's thoughts - the photos are wonderful!
We had our ACU tonight (140+ people!) and Moira mentioned the work you are all doing - there was a lot of interest, so I've shared the blog address with others...
Please tell Bryna and Don that Dr. Hentschel did an amazing job with his presentation, talking about the significant progress and work in the thoracic program it's amazing to come home and see the legacy of the Sisters and St. Mary's thriving locally and internationally.
Stay well, stay safe -

Hi Leanne
You are doing a fantastic job at tracking this experience for everyone back home. Enjoy the pyramids. Tell Dr Rinne the pacemaker clinic likes his hat.
Take care and enjoy
