cultural differences

Thanks for your reply. The patient and family are from the tutsi tribe in Rwanda. I have done many searches, checking all over the internet, and have found little information about actual culture as related to home health, and terminal illness. I have done a lot of interesting reading, however, regarding living conditions, the various religions, and the turmoil that their country has endured. The patient and family does speak English but it is very difficult at times for communication as their English, while amazing considering their circumstance, is limited. But, as one family member stated, "we have difference, but we are the same in our heart".
