Ruhengeri, Rwanda

As we continued in our travels with the Guardians of Hope in Rwanda, we visited with a group in the Northern town of Ruhengeri.

This AEBR Secondary School just North of Ruhengeri
was built by Canadian Baptist Churches

Community members taking care of the upkeep of their school

sorgum fields under the shadow of the Sabyinyo Volcanoe, home of the great silverback mountain gorillas.

Some local boys showing us their moves as storm clouds quickly descended over us from the volcanoes

Erica sharing with the gathering of Guardians about the strength of working together and the power of God's love seen through their lives.

Patty Card sharing words of appreciation to the Guardians

Some of the members sharing their harvest of organic pesticide that they both use and sell as an income to help HIV and AIDS orphans within their community.


Erica and one of the group members

Three barefoot neighbourhood children come in out of the rain to join the dancing and singing of the Guardians of Hope.
The clapping and drumming of the Guardians joined with the rhythm of the rain and the crashes of thunder as the storm rolled over the village.

The little dancers dry and out of the rain!
