splitsville, in a good way

We all went separate ways today. We're all still getting along just fine, it's just that we all had different interests and things to do today. Some went to Akegera Game Park and saw giraffe, zebra, baboons, monkeys, birds, water buffalo -- sounds like it was quite the successful safari. Some went to the Nimata Genocide Memorial and did some shopping. And some went out to Kayonza again to meet with kids and participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for the new home for former street kids.

And, all we have for you on this blog are pictures from Kayonza.

Here are some of the kids who ANLM took off the streets of Kigali, rehabilitated, and now are living in spare classrooms in Kayonza. These are the kids who will be living in the new dormitory-style dorm.

And here they are, laying the first bricks:

And Charles and Fred, telling the story of how this land in Kayonza went from being a small field of banana trees that was completely surrounded by other property -- and now, it is a huge campus with around nine buildings and plans for more.

And we got to spend time with the kids, of course. They know us by name now...and when they see us, they ask if know you, their sponsors and ask us to tell you to come visit them. You will, won't you?
