Buffalo State volunteers welcomed

Fourteen students and four facilitators spent two days teaching Muhanga area teachers the power of storytelling to enhance learning. Eighty-two teachers from the Muhanga District attended these classes. The Anne Frank Project uses storytelling as a way to build community, manage conflict and explore identity.

Here’s a photo of the 2023 volunteers from the Anne Frank Project, Buffalo SUNY State. New York, USA.

Our guests were made welcome by both the primary and preschool children at the Urukundo Learning Center.

Morning assembly is a great time to see the student body and teachers in the school environment. The primary students meet at the bottom of the mountain, and the preschool students meet at the middle level of the mountain.

Primary consists of grades 1 through 6.  Ages 6 to 13 years.

Lots of kids

The preschool is on the middle level, so I was able to be there with Anne Frank team leader Drew Kahn. What a joy to be present for a photo with Drew! I do not climb up and down the mountain. Living on the middle level is such a blessing.

After meeting with the primary kids, the Anne Frank team paid a visit to the morning assembly of our preschool.

Assembly breaks up as children go to four separate classrooms. These kids are 3, 4 and 5 years old.
