It has long been my dream that one day the kids (my Rwandan sons and daughters) who grew up at Urukundo Home for Children would someday run the foundation. Can dreams like mine come true? Of course, they can. I am satisfied that my dream is slowly coming true.
Celebrate with me.
The newest addition to Urukundo staff is Esperance Nyampinga. She was one of the first girls to be adopted into the home and our family in 2006. She has finished her education, worked in the outside labor pool for experience and now is a new hire at Urukundo.
Esperance joins our staff as the public relations manager. Her son Ethan accompanies her as advisor-in-chief. Esperance will wear many hats at the foundation. One will be with the volunteers who want to experience Rwanda and its many beautiful sites. Another will be managing the guesthouse and seeing to the comfort and needs of our volunteers as they take part in the everyday events at the Urukundo Village and Learning Center. She also will work closely with the National Commission for Children in caring for our children who are with bio and foster families.
