Hope


What a wonderful (and much-needed) break today was. After three long days of training, it was so nice to sleep in a little and spend the day running errands around Kigali. There was even a thunderstorm that rolled through, so we ducked into Bourbon coffee shop as we waited out the storm. The strong cup of coffee and cool air was very welcomed.

Once the sun reemerged, we made our way to Inema Art Center to watch the children dance, sing, and drum. It’s always a high point of my trips here to spend some time with the children…they just bring so much joy to anyone who is in the same space. As I watched them dance, I was overcome with how much joy and happiness these children seem to have despite how broken and traumatized the country is that they will inherit. Seeing their joy though gives me so much hope for the future of Rwanda and what these young people will be able to accomplish.
