Kirundi 1/6/13

Most of the people here speak a tribal language called Kirundi.  JR knows a little bit, and Jen and I learned a little in Europe.  It is a tonal language, but I'm thankful it doesn't seem nearly as hard as Thai.  They use the same English alphabet minus three letters, the vowels are similar to Spanish, and there are a couple sounds I haven't figured out yet.  School starts on Monday.  There's a meeting this evening with the kids from the Children's home, and tomorrow, kids start arriving at the school.  The oldest kid at the Children's home is in 6th grade, and will go to the secondary school next year.
