Hope Haven Rwanda, Kigali, Rwanda
Jason and I had visited this school two years earlier, and at that time, they were just completing a huge addition that roughly doubled the school’s capacity. As it turned out, our visit coincided with the first day of the new school year.
We had the privilege of being the welcoming party for the young children arriving on campus that morning—lots of smiles, lots of hugs—it was a heartwarming experience. Once the welcoming was concluded, we toured the campus, met with staff and students, and saw the amazing work happening there.
