Hello!
So we just got back from the centre now after watching a movie with the kids. This is Robbie. Everyone else has gone to bed so i'm afraid you're stuck with me today! I will try to post some pictures, last night we couldnt upload any because of the slow connection.
Today was a great day. We spend the whole day at the Centre with the kids. The morning was spent re-painting the lines on the basketball court. We had lots of help from the kids of the school! These kids are amazing and all have incredible stories to tell. Some of the team were able to speak with the kids and hear from them more of what life is like for them. It has been so great to watch our students from Bellevue interact with these kids from Rwanda.
In the afternoon we finished up painting the lines and then spent the rest of the afternoon teaching them some dance moves, drawing, learning more of the language, and playing various games with them. These kids love having us here. For many of them, they have no family and to have people from across the world come here and hang out with them is huge.
This evening we had dinner back here at the guesthouse before heading back to the school to watch Wall-E with the kids! We had around 50 kids come, so we were all pretty packed in there!
Tomorrow we will be spending the day at the Centre, working on the library and art room.
The team are all doing well, and i have been so impressed with them and their openess to step out of their comfort zone. I can see already that God has been doing so work on all of us here.
Thank you for all your prayers, and i'll try to get someone more interesting to write the blog tomorrow night!!
Peace,
Robbie
Robbie, It's great to hear from you! Thank you for taking the time to post on the blog at the end of a long day. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post Robbie! Maybe it's a good thing that everyone went to bed early. I'm sure it's very exciting and a lot to absorb. Tell everyone hello. Looking forward to more postings and pictures.

ReplyDeleteGreetings,
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to imagine how far away you are as we sit under clouds in Bellevue. Your updates have been fantastic and we truly look forward to them. Tell Allie that we miss her and love her very much. Also, we are very proud of her -and of all of you - for your desire to learn about Rwanda and provide the help and hope that you can.
Be Safe,
George Bagley - Allie's Dad
