Help Me, Help Rwanda's Orphans
Donation protected
For many years now I have felt the call to do missionary work in Africa. The need for people to help the orphans and street children in Rwanda is staggering. My husband and I sponsor 2 little children and support the Dream Daycare Center, but it is not enough for me. I want, no need, to help in person but I can't do it without your financial help and prayers.
In 1994 there was genocide. Overnight, roadblocks were put up and thousands were armed with machetes, guns and clubs. Three months later, 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus had been slaughtered. Between 250,000 and 500,000 women were raped during the 1994 genocide, which is believed to be the cause of the AIDS epidemic in Rwanda. Due to the genocide and the ensuing HIV/AIDS epidemic, more than 600,000 orphans lived in Rwanda by 2001. Additionally, there was virtually no psychological care for anyone in Rwanda after the genocide.
There is camaraderie in similar experience, regardless of the devastating nature. The people of Rwanda bound together in the aftermath of the genocide. Today they are filled with joy, filled with love. Rwanda's people are reconciling, forgiving, growing, and overcoming. Since the 1994 genocide, Rwanda is rebuilding itself.
I need to be completely funded by June 30, 2014. Please, please help me go to Rwanda July 25th, 2015 with Love 41 (
