Hi Glenn,

I hope the celebration was fun and that you are now home again. Thank you 

for including me in this trip. I learned alot and certainly enjoyed working with

 this team. The people of Rwanda have such a great need for help from those

of us  who are able to do so. I'm glad you said "yes" when the request came

your  way.

After you left, the Attorney General of the country wanted advice for the 

care of his sister who has paranoid schizophrenia after being severly 

traumatized in the genocide. She is in care of a psychiatrist in Kigali and I  had the

opportunity to talk with him on Friday morning. He is currently using  Haldol

by injection ‑ but she is getting side effects which are a problem. He is 

asking for advice from the US. Do you have a contact who might be willing to be 

in email communication with him? Also is the drug Zypresa (sp?) would be a 

useful alternative.

I will pursue some contacts at Fairfax Hospital ‑ but hoped you might have 

folks who could help also.

Again, thank you. I look forward to talking with you again.    Kathy Kelley
