Service

Today was Umagana a day of service! Somany people did it in the village and        Some did it outside the village, but the    village was hopping this morning! We      started the day with Mucaka, which is     basically when all the grades go for a run around the village at 6 in the am. Then   we have breakfast and then farm             activities and Umaganda! People were    out cleaning the dining hall and sweeping the streets, cutting the grass, mopping    floors, cleaning the animal stalls ,             preparing food and of course  doing         laundry! I had to snap peas! 

Tomorrow is a big alumni visit day and     everyone is excited to see their family     members. 

We will be having a more somber day as we head out in the am to visit the           Genocide museum and memorial sites.

The second half of our day today was     very relaxing. We walked around and       visited students doing different activities, lots of music, and creative projects. The kids got dancing lessons, they were          thrilled and many got a lot done in their    journals. We topped our night off with a   Visit to a local establishment and  got eveveryone soda and French fries! A treat after days of rice and beans. 

What an incredible peaceful day!
