70 children graduated from Kindergaten at Urukundo Learning Center on October 25, 2014. What a glorious day it was.
All students and parents preparing for the Parade.
The march from the school to the site of the ceremony was awesome
This scene takes place along the road for the neighbors to witness our graduates, students and parents. They made a very long line.
The parade coming in at my gate.
Very serious.
Our guest of honor was GASPARD RUTEGESHA from the board of education in the Cyeza Sector. He took part by shaking hands and giving each child a certificate.
I felt very short today, my five foot one next to this six foot 7 gentleman. It's a good thing I was sitting down.
He was our honored guest and main speaker.
The president of Urukundo Foundation's Board of Directors Hildebrand Kanzira spoke, encouraging the children and their parents to place much value on education.
Even I added my 2 cents' worth, using the back of a chair for support.
A first at our graduation celebration: the music and art department presented a program for our entertainment. Bono the music teacher traveled from Kigali to be here for this occasion. Bono is from the Kigali School of Music and teaches twice a week at Urukundo Learning Center.
Intore translated means 'an all-boy dance team'. The boys did a great job. Keeping the culture alive for the children is so important.
The girl dancers were not to be outdone and we were delighted.
Diplomas were held high.
I have so many wonderful pictures it was hard to decide which would give you a clear picture of the event in the lives of the children and the program you are making possible by your gifts and donations.
Thank you for helping make a difference.
