Letter from Congo: Formidable Noel
I just called over to Goma to check on the kid, and he answered the phone in high spirits. He has recovered now from his alleged poisoning last month and had his “colleagues from class” over for a Christmas party with his two little brothers. They danced to Werasson and — stop the presses — DRANK ALCOHOL!
“C’etait vraiment un noel formidable,” he said. They slept in the church last night so they could wake up there on Christmas morning, and took lots of pictures with the idols of baby Jesus.
Merry Christmas everyone.
