Shout-out of the Week: Angels Among Us

This week's Shout-out goes to my good friend Brad Snyder whose protracted journey to accompany Akaliza - a Rwandan orphan with a congenital heart defect - to the United States for surgery, was covered by the Chicago Tribune recently.  Brad is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people I've ever met and his ability to care about the plight of those less fortunate is amazing to watch.  Brad is the kind of person who gives and gives, even when he doesn't have much left over for himself, as you'll read in the article that covers December's harrowing journey.

Too long.

It's been seven weeks since I last updated This Aint No Safari.  In that time, my mom and aunt came to visit, I got slammed at work, and then started the long process of job searching.  I've been busy, that's for sure.  But with fewer than four months left in Rwanda before I head back to whatever awaits me in the States, I've got to get some ideas and memories down here.  So stay tuned for updates real soon!

Here's something to get us started.
