Pastor Boyd and his wife Shirley served in the Presbyterian Church in Rwanda for 6 months. Their schedule was a bit busy but they found time to visit and play with the Urukundo kids. Even had mama to dinner at their house. It was such a treat and pleasure for me. They were good customers at the Sewing Center.
Pastor Boyd’s shirts will make him the envy of every man who sees him.
MISSION OUT REACH
November and December are the months of giving thanks and giving of gifts. The gift of education is a gift that never stops giving.
Please keep the Education Fund in your heart. We can help local children in need of an education, but whose parents have too little income and struggle to feed and clothe them. Your gift helps Urukundo Learning Center provide education for these wonderful children. $15 is a small amount but makes a big difference for the children here.

The October Newsletter is the month we start thinking about providing schooling for the very poor children in Muhanga. In the past, beginning in 2009, we were blessed to be able to provide school supplies for 369 children seeing them through Primary school. Those children have all finished Primary School and now there is a new group needing our help.
In order to know where the help is most needed we have connected with the Village leaders (Mudugudu). They can identify the children from very poor families who will not go to school without help. With Urukundo Learning Center and your help we are able to reach out and offer education to children who would not go to school and offer them a good educational foundation and environment. $15 is still the amount to provide for a needy child. Help make a difference. A check to Hope Made Real PO Box 3222, Williamsport, Pa 17701 will make a difference in the life of a child. Mark the check: Education in the memo. Or you can donate online through the 'Donate Now' link on this page. Mark 'education' in the notes field. Thank you.
THE FARM
October 19 saw the birth of a new baby girl calf. We are always pleased when the baby is a girl. We now have 3 milking cows and two girl calves.
This new baby means more milk for the kids and to sell.
Kaboss had special visitors in September.
Diane & Bill Currier, part of his sponsoring family, came to see him. They brought him two wonderful books and other surprises that he shared with all the kids.
Before they left Urukundo Village, Sam, Jacob, Chris and Sally Buck and Jonathon May gave a donation to have a stone placed on the PATH TO LEARNING at the school. A gift to the education fund. Our path continues to grow, as does our school. 2015 will see the first P3 class.
Position on the path.
Please keep in prayer the much needed funding to build our Third Grade classrooms.
$30,000 will completely furnish a single room including desks, chairs, blackboards etc.
