Patrick KInchsular, a Canadian who is a student at New York University in the USA, spent a month learning about our culture and exploring Rwanda, based at Urukundo. He attended Cecelia’s wedding.
Patrick took Kinyarwanda lessons from Urukundo Learning Center teacher Kubwimana Marcelin.
Patrick made friends with Ollie.
And he was our photographer at graduation.
Patrick was a support for me during very sad times and many good times. I am so grateful he was here in this eventful month of July.
We had other visitors from Canada as well.
It was our pleasure to host this group of five for lunch with Mama and a tour of Urukundo. Wybe Bylsma, his granddaughter Candice, and his great-grandson Seth spent an afternoon meeting our students preparing for graduation. They met Ildephonse Habinshuti, left, university lecturer in the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences at the University of Rwanda, and another Rwandan, Olivier Manzi, right.
