Sharing Christmas
Sharing the love. Older brothers and sisters (university and secondary) were chosen by a younger one to receive and open their gifts together. The joy on the younger kids faces tell the success of this.
It’s all about Jesus.

Thank you. Mama Arlene
Hi everyone,
The last days of October were very busy for the team from Saint Johns-Newberry UMC, Williamsport and South Williamsport UMC.
The team joined our children in the monthly cleanup day. Umuganda is the last Saturday of the month. This day is designated by the president to keep Rwanda clean. Our hard-working kids taught Tom, Kent and Theresa how it is done. Good work guys.
I am grateful for the help we received.
Blessings abound at the Dental Clinic
This month, the Dental Clinic had a visit from one of the original founders and our source of encouragement.
Dr. Valli I. Meeks, DDS, MS, RDH, is an Associate Professor of Oncology and Diagnostic Sciences in the School of Dentistry at the University of Maryland.
Dr. Valli Meeks returned for the third time to Urukundo. She and her co-worker Dr. Salih Sawsan of Harvard University were instrumental in the startup of Urukundo Dental Clinic.
Thank you Bruce & Margie Krogh for packing and transporting dental supplies donated to Urukundo Dental Clinic by Aaron Ptak, who is the District Operations Manager at Pittsburgh Plant #9072, Patterson Dental.
Thank you Patterson Dental and especially Aaron for spearheading this gift of giving.
We also thank Dr Lisa Fonas, DMD, for her donations for our Dental Clinic. Dr Lisa is a practicing dentist in Pittsburgh, Pa. She is acquainted with Urukundo Dental Clinic through Dr Bob Dove and his wife Amy.
We are still in need of a hand held X-Ray. I really don’t know a lot about this x-ray, but I am told by our clinic staff that we really need one in the Dental Clinic. A new or good used machine would fill the bill.
Sport Event
We do have an active adult Foote Ball (Soccer) team. This was a competition between our staff and the Sunday Foote Ball Club.
At the Daycare
A new and exciting toy! You have to be a little kid to really get excited about the experience at the daycare.
Graduation 2018
All non-graduating and graduate students gather at school for the parade to the foote ball field.
