Kateri is Leaving

It is official, or at least as official as anything gets around here.  Kateri is leaving.  The original plan was for her to be here in Balaka for two years, but that time is getting cut short.  She is moving approximately 70 kilometers away to Sanama.  There is a Canossian mission there where she will be working in the medicine dispensory and the nutrition unit.  The move is in response to the unsatisfactory placement of Kateri, educated in Sciences with plans of attending medical school, as an English and Typing teacher.  While I think she did an excellent job in the ill-fitting position, she expressed her desire for the Sisters to find her a more suitable task.  The sisters, in their on going pursuit to match people to their vocation as well as get the job done, were happy to find something better.  The new position looks like a good match and Kateri is excited to be going.
