We’re using what we have and improving: better office facilities, better storage rooms and computer training for my daughter Serephine, who completed culinary arts school and works at Urukundo. Inventory and costs are now done on a spreadsheet.
Another effort is aimed at a better cooking area and directing smoke out of kitchen. Hope it works.
After it is successful, we will paint, tile the floor and have a more desirable kitchen.
Wood burners make a lot of smoke and are not healthy.
An Awesome View
In closing, I’d like to show you an awesome view of the Urukundo Learning Center.
* Top of the mountain: Rwanda sky, beautiful view.
* Top level: Preschool and Glascow Culture Center, Computer Lab, School Offices.
* Second level: Primary 1 through Primary 3.

You, our donors, have made all this possible.
Your donations are appreciated and so needed. Thank you for your loving and faithful support.
On the lighter side
Barber does house calls. You are brave, Amy.
Volunteer Amy Dove meets the barber. I would say she has a new hairdo, but I think it is just a cut. It keeps her hair out of her eyes.
Newest graduate
Giselle, our latest graduate from secondary school, will start University of Tourism, Technology and Business in May. Congratulations, Giselle!
This will give us 13 attending university. I am so grateful to all sponsors and those who donate for higher education. Without you, this would not be possible.
No washer and dryer
Volunteer Angelique from Germany does her washing in the backyard.
That is laundry at Urukundo.

February Newsletter
Love Is All Around
February is the love month. The perfect month for the LOVE (Urukundo) FOUNDATION. I hope each of you are our Valentine. There is so much love here with lots to share.
Belise and Esperance
Babies from Mama & Baby Center share love.
We are ever in need of infant clothes for Valentine babies who remain in our hearts.
More love. Kiriku, Joyce, Jacob, Banitha. Friends.
Betty is also a Valentine. She has been the main caregiver in the boys house since 2006. She should be a great mom when she has her own kids as she has had lots of practice in the years she has served Urukundo’s boys and girls. Congratulations, Betty, and a happy marriage to Etienne from Mama and all your Urukundo family. 
Thank you for inviting us to this happy event.

The children could choose Kinyarwanda or English Bibles.Those from our school chose English. Those in our congregation from other schools chose a Bible written in their native tongue.After the worship service, the children were invited to have lunch with Urukundo kids..
