Innocent and his wife and children are long-time friends from Kigali City. Urukundo became acquainted with this family when Innocent worked for Bruce Krogh, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and then director of Carnegie Mellon University in Rwanda. Bruce and his wife Margie are part of the Urukundo family and are back in Pittsburgh. We are blessed to have this family as a part of our local Urukundo family.
Our community Christmas party has grown. We began with a few, and it grew and grew. The room was full, and it is a big room.

We ran out of gifts and many just received biscuits and lollipops. Next year we will try to do better.
It is so exciting to see the community kids come to Urukundo to help us celebrate Christmas. This year, the movie was “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” It was in English, so the kids followed the action more than the words. Next year, I think we will try “Frozen.” It is hard when the community kids speak mostly Kinyarwanda and French. We did have a tape with Christmas carols and “Jingle Bells" in Kinyarwanda. The kids sang along and danced a bit. In that crowd, there was not much room for dancing.
