Road to .....Rwanda

Written on Apr 24, 2022

I am lying on the couch at 4 a.m. listening to the call to prayer during the season of Ramadan.  There is great need in our world today.  I just opened my  email, and...... 

Yes, we have just accepted a post to Virunga Valley Academy in Musanze, Rwanda.  It is the city closest to where the great gorillas live.  (That sounds interesting.)  A website telling about the school: https://virungavalleyacademy.org/

Although we casually talked to two other schools in the past month, this was the second chocie when we came to Papua, Indonesia in Jan. 2021, so it was an easy decision on our part.  We had even interviewed with them all ready.  It is a small school for Rwandan nationals with a few M.K.'s and other expats thrown in.  They have been building the school, adding a new grade every year.  I will have middle school language arts. Rick's class/classes are to be determined.  The high school is all online with a school in PA right now, but they will move ahead slowly with that component as well.  Rwanda has 3 official langauges: kinyarwanda, French, and English, so it will be an easier placement language wise. 

Please pray with us about the details now: visas, material possessions (who needs those? haha), traveling, etc.  We are just at the beginning process of all of that, and I will share as we go. It is important for you to realize what moving overseas entails....in case any of you want to join us.  The need is always great.
