Youth Camp!

8/4/2011

Thursday saw the start of our youth Camp!  111 students have shown up for this three day event!  Great teaching this morning on forgiving themselves and others on events in the past.  This was generally referring to the genocide, as a number of the students would have been around, and /or their families would have been affected.   We even heard stories of what happened to some of the adults in the room.  A great theme in Rwanda is to be silent, don’t talk about it, but the students were told that they need to speak to get past it and move on with the rest of their lives.

This afternoon found our team with all the students up in a field by the primary school clearing the land for another building.  It was a fantastic experience as the students loosened up and the shyness was lost.  Lots of great conversations and questions – about Canada, about their sponsors and so on!  These students are hungry to connect with their sponsors!  We also all got a lot of Kinyarwanda lessons, which I think I promptly forgot!

Sounds like you guys are really working hard. Too bad you have to go right back to work when you get home. Oh well you will memories for a life time.

Love you Kris.
