Trip

When are we going?

The trip is scheduled from May 19 through June 3 -- and here's the exciting part, two of our kids want to go, as well. We're trying to take Ben (17) and Brandon (21).
Ben will be going for several reasons. He will be filming and documenting everything that SCORE and the Village Makeover is doing. This will lead to more opportunities for the community to get involved in this project in the States as well as documentation for future grant support for this village.
Brandon will be working on constructing the homes, roofing, and soccer field, as well as working with the kids.

Unfortunately, we got a late start in fund raising and haven't met our goal yet.
We were going to put the trip off until the Fall until we heard from our contact in Rwanda.
The word has gotten out that we are coming to build the soccer field and everyone is so excited. They have even planned a big party. Willy (the pastor there) told us that we have to understand that there is NOTHING like this over there.

We also asked how many kids may show up for the "Opening Day" of the field... we were wondering what we would do if 500 kids showed up.
When asked Willy laughed and said there could be 2 - 3,000 kids there!
It's clear that we are meant to go, but we need support to do it.
