Successful fundraiser
Here it is the end of May. What an exciting month it has been!
Now on my mind is going home to Urukundo.
Of course, the last week in April has to be in the May newsletter. That last week in April saw the “Bridging Pittsburgh to Rwanda” fund-raising event.
Here are members of the bridge team plus two Urukundo siblings, Tresor and Solange, and myself. Awesome group. The three of us told the crowd about Urukundo.
The celebration included a get-acquainted event.
Jewelry and crafts from Urukundo Village were for sale.
The event was well organized and went very well. Everyone had a good time, and funds were raised for the Urukundo Foundation/Hope Made Real.
Funds were raised, but it wasn’t enough to finish building much needed classrooms for the elementary school. However, it was more than enough to pay for a much needed, handheld portable X-ray machine for the Dental Clinic.

Included with the machine are the charger, battery, strap/holster, premium sensor and software.
This is very good news.
Urukundo Dental Clinic wishes to thank Vector R&D Inc., Dr. Richard Reckmeyer and the many others who made this acquisition possible.
