Rwanda, well I basically stayed within because we had a dehydration point, was a 300 bed field hospital and all the refugees coming in from the Congo back into Rwanda. It was a point for, it was a hydration point, however, we started doing more and more extra things because we know this stuff. I know there was a couple of births in there. I know the engineers built an incubator out of lamps and stuff, that was kind of a nice thing to see. Near the end of that tour for some reason every time I started my shift there I started getting ill, sick and feverish so at the end they put me in the administration doing all the paperwork, collecting all the statistics of all the stuff we seen in the camp. A few times we went down, I went down with a water pint to collect some water. We got confronted with Hutu’s or Tutsi’s, I can’t remember which side but at checkpoint we had a few incidents there like they wouldn’t let us through the checkpoint, we had to kind of force our way through.
