We were so fortunate to visit with our sponsored child through Compassion International. We've sponsored Yvonne for 10 years and this is our 3rd visit to see her, her twin sister Yvette and their grandmother. We had another great visit with the girls in Kigali.
The gang all together!!
Catching up on the bus ride to the market. We love these girls!!
At the market buying fabric to make skirts and party pants for all of us. The girls loved choosing their own fabric and helping us choose ours. Their grandmother was a wonderful negotiator and got us a good price!
Another view of the marketplace. This section was all fabric and household items, but there were other big sections of beans, fruit, anything else you could need.
Helena getting measured for her new skirt. Yvonne and Yvette's grandmother is a seamstress so we are paying her and her friends to make the clothes for all of us.
Yvonne taking down our measurements for the clothes for her grandmother.
We took them out to lunch and had a great African buffet with fruit smoothies for dessert :)

Saying goodbye to the girls
and goodbye to John our CI guide/translator
