10 Years #1

What an amazing milestone the Urukundo Children's Home and Learning Center has reached...10 years. What started in 2006 as a house for girls has grown to a home for 54 children and youth, a sustainable farm, community worship center, school, library, dental clinic, sewing training center, mom and baby outreach and sports area for local kids.

A celebration was held in June with over 500 in attendance. We were thrilled that so many came including alumni volunteers. There were 4 young adults that have been coming from the US, Germany and the UK for several years. They are such dear friends and sponsors of some of the kids. Yes even at their age they are helping to sponsor our kids.

Another wonderful surprise was Jacque, one of Arlene's daughters who came to celebrate this special occasion.
