Yesterday I got to visit an after-school/ weekend activities center for orphans here in Kigali. It is run by two genocide survivors, Emmanuel and Leonce, who believe God saved them so that they can help others.

The center began with offering activities and programs for street children and orphans and, just recently, they’ve opened a bakery staffed by their kids - a program which will support other programs.

It’s quite the operation, with about 12 kids on assembly lines and a huge, wood fueled oven. The bread is quite good too.

Emmanuel and Leonce’s passion and work moved one of the local staff who was with us to share his own passion. Driving back, he told us how difficult it was to find the will to live after he survived and how important our project is for Rwanda. Pounding the steering wheel, he declared that “We must succeed, we must rebuild our country.”

This is the passion which is building a better future for Rwanda.
