Visiting more Village schools

After the soccer match, we boarded our bus and headed out to visit two more schools. Our next visit was to a primary school. Primary schools in Rwanda are from grades one to six. At the school we presented two soccer balls and one volleyball. The students appreciated receiving these balls because they only had a plastic ball to play with. This visit was not as organized because we arrived at lunch time and many of the students and teachers had gone home for lunch.

We made one more school stop before returning to the Fatima Centre for a late...late lunch. The student at the highschool were expecting our visit. They wore bright yellow, green, and blue uniforms. An outdoor assembly was quickly called and the entire team introduced itself to the student body. The student body sang to us. The superintendent and the principal spoke at this assembly. Both were very thankful to CBM on behalf of Canadian Baptists for all that we have done to assist their schools and their communities. This was also the school of the regional pastor who accompanied us this day. The students could not play soccer with us because they were studying for their national exams. The grades at the highschool here are from grades seven to twelve.

While waiting to board our bus, some of the young children put on a gymnastics show. Its amazing the different flips they are able to do over a car tire.

We then went back to the Fatima Centre for a long awaited lunch.

For dinner we drove into Ruhengeri for dinner at a hotel where we enjoyed another buffet dinner including goat.
