The four volcanos in our area.  The fourth one is across the border in the Congo, and the first one (and sometimes the second) is where the gorillas live.

Greetings from the Codas as we return to St. Francis Hospital Mutolere in southwestern Uganda.

Accompanying us this time is our oldest daughter Clare, who is just finishing medical school at Drexel University and will be starting an Internal Medicine/Pediatrics combined residency at the University of Maryland.  She is taking this opportunity to work with her dad and the other medical staff and to learn how to deliver care in a resource-limited environment. 

This is our third stint at St. Francis Hospital and we are eagerly looking forward to renewing our friendships there.
