New Preschool

There is exciting news about Cyakabiri Preschool. When I left Rwanda in November Mama had a vision to build a 2 room building. Why? There was a waiting list of 100 new children whose families wanted them to come to the school.

So I came home and Arlene came back to the US and we shared the vision with many people. They have stepped up and are still stepping up to make this a reality.

Groundbreaking began January 18th and already the walls are up and the metal roof is ready to go on. Each day I receive exciting updates which I will continue to share.

Notice the scaffolding around the building and how they mix the cement. No delivery of ready made cement. It is all done by hand.

This project means construction jobs for men and women in the community. Jobs that are so needed. It means jobs for carpenters to build classroom furniture. It means jobs for additional teachers.

It means more children will receive an education and daily nutrition.It means Arlene is forging many partnerships with families, local businesses and the government.

And it is all good.
