These three young people and a mom had an idea to help them earn tuition for secondary boarding school. The mom is Libby, a long-time employee at Urukundo.
Having three kids in secondary school is an expensive deal in Rwanda, especially in the aftermath of the coronavirus.
With three months before school is to start, Libby tried to think how she could help her kids stay busy and at the same time give them a way to help themselves earn money for school in September.
Pigs and chickens were chosen as the answer. She would purchase babies at a low price. The kids would have three months to feed and care for the animals. At the end of the three months, the kids will sell the animals to help pay school tuition.
Alain chose chickens. He will care for these two young chickens. You may remember Alain. He was the child who had a run-in with a spitting cobra several years ago. It is good to see him well and attending secondary school.
This young lady, Delice, chose a white piglet.
To be sure which pig was his, Chance chose a black pig to be different from his sister. In the September newsletter, I will present photos of the progress and joy of this special project to earn money. It may be difficult for the kids to give them up. We will see.
They are little.
