Today in Rwanda has been very fun and we are all super tired. We walked about an hour to Wisdom School. It is a boarding school with over 1200 kids. We spent about 5 hours with them. We played tons of games outside. Freeze tag, limbo, relays, duck duck goose, jumping and playing and falling in the dirt. We were all so dirty! It was so much fun. Then we helped them organize their school's new library. It was a simple task for us but would have taken their librarian a long time. He was so excited when we finished and kept saying thank you. We took the long walk back into town and headed to the local swimming pool to refresh! The weather here is wonderful but got quite cool this afternoon. Combine that with an unheated pool and everyone was shivering. Now we have stopped in to a hotel restaurant to have African tea (my favorite!!) and chips (French fries). That's where we are in the photo! Everyone is doing well and having a wonderful time. We travel to Gisenyi tomorrow to visit and learn about a tea factory. We will see lake Kivu and then spend the afternoon volunteering and visiting at Noel orphanage, the largest orphanage in Rwanda. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
