August and September have been wonderful months.
Having so many of our kids home during the school break has been great.

I am amazed to see how grown up they are. Several are now old enough to travel alone on public transportation and come home to Urukundo.
Kenny and Kenilla, the twins, were here for two weeks and returned to their biological family. Their grandfather, who is the caregiver for them, is a paraplegic. I am not sure who cares for whom.
My little kids are growing up.
Claude #2 came in August for a week and then returned to his bio family.
I find it hard to believe Claude #2 will start secondary school this year.
Kaboss, Egide and David came Friday, Sept. 2, and Prince arrived Monday, Sept 5.

I needed to get Soso in the photo. He is our ambassador on campus. He meets and greets all the kids as they come home. Sorry to say he will move off campus this October to live in a family situation.
Claude #1, Lucky and Aline are now in Senior 4. Senior 4 is when children in Rwanda must choose a career goal and a school that specializes in the subjects to help them attain that goal.

Claude #1 is going into the medical field. He intends to be a general practitioner and have a family practice. Lucky’s goal is to be a journalist. Aline wants to be a web designer.
I do hope we can help them reach their goals.
News of other children not pictured.
Sarah and Livine were here for a short time, but no photo.
Nelly and Rebecca are fine. They were not able to make it home to Urukundo this school break.
Kavine, Diane, Joyce and Benita all live close by and attend Urukundo Learning Center. I see them most every day.
My little ones, Jacob, Jeanette and Jason, are still too young to travel alone.
Their time will come.
We are blessed to have 26 boys and girls in the younger generation of Urukundo kids.
Urukundo is financially responsible for all of our kids. I am concerned about how long we can continue with their support as donations and child support are trending down. We need all sponsors on board. We need your continued support.
We are just now feeling the impact of covid on donations.. Strange, I would have thought it would have been in 2020 and 2021, not 2022.
