August is a quiet month at Urukundo.
School is not in session.
We share the special events of August with you, our followers.
A wedding, a graduation and a special visit.
The wedding
Congratulations to the newlyweds.
Marilyn Ely has been a part of the Urukundo Family from its inception and we celebrate with her as she begins a new life journey with Ward Yorks. Marilyn is a member of Hope Made Real the International Board of Directors.
The graduation
Oliver, our dental hygienist, is making an effort to take care of not only the dental program but also looking to improve the business part of the dental program. On Aug. 3, she graduated from Mount Kenya University with a Master's in Business Administration.
Congratulations, Oliver.
The special visit
I am so very happy to welcome home Divine Uwonkunda. Divine was our first little girl in the Urukundo family. The beginning of Divine’s story is on Pages 69 and 96 of the book “Hope Made Real: The Story of Mama Arlene and the Children of Urukundo.” Divine did not stay that little girl. Her story continues in a future publication (maybe). She was not the oldest, just the first to arrive at our home for children.
Divine has grown into a fine woman who graduated from university and, to further her experiences, traveled to Germany in 2021. Her desire to become a pilot has not wavered. Her visit home to Urukundo was just that – a visit. She returns to Germany at the end of August.
