Most welcome at Urukundo are volunteer teachers interested in primary and early childhood education and who want to make a difference.Their purpose is to work with Urukundo Learning Center teachers for the benefit of children. Our teaching staff welcomes them.
Jeanne Willis from Hughesville, Pennsylvania, USA, is such a teacher. Jeanne is a retired primary school teacher and a blessing to our teachers and students. She visited for three weeks.
This is Jeanne’s third mission trip as a volunteer educator at Urukundo. She is loved and welcomed by our Primary 6 children. They remember her from her last visit in 2017 when they were in Primary 1. Good teachers are not forgotten. Jeanne is a good teacher.
Jeanne brought nine suitcases. Included in one were these letter bibs. The kids and teachers love them. Great teaching tools.
Spelling is fun with the letter bibs.

Notice the bottom two books on the desk. In those books – “Hope Made Real: The Story of Mama Arlene and the Children of Urukundo” – are stories of Claudine, Pages 129 and 165-167. Divine is on Pages 69 and 96. Urukundo Foundation’s beginning starts on Page 63.
Teacher working with teacher. Our library extension is a perfect workstation. Sharing knowledge.
Our volunteers participate in serving lunch in the dining room to our many students each day. We are grateful for the help.
Saying so long to Jeanne makes for sad faces. She has promised she will return.
