Urukundo Learning Center

I continually realize that the Urukundo Foundation is so much more than the Urukundo Home for Children. Education is key to the future of Rwanda and Mama Arlene is stepping up to offer many opportunities. You learned about the Cyakabiri Preschool but they also offer English classes there.

In the evenings 2 people teach English to adults. Johnny and Vincent, who works with Arlene. They provide advanced English classes for a small fee if they can pay. Eric teaches beginning English to adults in the evenings.

There is such a need to continue to teach children during their almost 3 month holiday. So again Urukundo informed the community that there would be English classes for primary (elementary) aged kids. The families pay as they can. Eric also teaches this class. Jobs are provided and kids are learning! And Arlene provides the place.

Photos are of Eric teaching. One young girl is thrilled to be there and saying hello to me. Luki is still deciding whether to go. part of the building is being used as an area for basic medical care. They plan to add dental care where the classroom is. Until the dental chair and other needs are received it will be a classroom. No space goes unused.

Reaching out and being a presence in the Muhunga District is such a gift to this community.
