15 years ago and today
15 years ago the genocide was in full rage by morning.
It started the night before when the plane carrying the Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi was shot down at 8:23 pm.
By 9:15 the killing began.
Today we are continuing our journey of mirroring those same 100 days with goodness.
I just heard from Chantal in Rwanda today with a current need.
We have people traveling to New Hope Homes in Rwanda in May and we would like to fill their bags with current supplies for our 30 kids.
Here are the needs:
New good quality backpacks. The local ones seem to only last 3 months.
New good walking shoes with good soles. We're learning about this one over time. Functional over cute. Durable is key.
A nice set of clothes.
Over the counter cough and cold medicine for kids. I brought over a big supply in January and they have already gone through most of it.
Please reach out to me at rwandadonna@mac.com if you are able to help with any of these needs.
Blessings and thanks for reaching out to us.
Donna
