Helping Rwandan Children out of Poverty

We have after many years of trying achieved one of our goals!

As stated in my July report, we are delighted to have now secured the services of three English teachers willing to join the team visiting Muko School in Bugarama in early November - they will be teaching the teachers of the School and surrounding area. Working with the help of the Headmistress and the Dean of Studies, they will be there, in the next instance, for up to four weeks.

Other members of the group will continue with the building maintenance program that has made a vast difference to this underprivileged school. Local labourers will continue with the building of the perimeter wall, which it is hoped will completed on this trip. The long-drop unhygienic toilets are still a huge problem for the children who at the moment only have a very limited number to share; fresh water storage too is a matter that will be addressed, in order to stop all the rainfall going to waste.

Each of these visiting volunteers will be self-funding - travel fares, accommodation and food expenses. But of course finance is still required to bring this school up to an acceptable level - both to pay the local labourers and for building materials.

On my return home just before Christmas I'll be reporting on our progress and look forward to adding lots of photos too!

If you have donated to this very worthy project I thank you. Please continue to help us support this school!

Many Thanks
