Trip Preparation

We will be staying at an orphanage in Rwanda Africa founded by Mama Arlene (Brown) from Pennsylvania. My former church has taken numerous trips to Rwanda and were captivated by Mama Arlene's love of the Lord and love of children. She is changing lives! Her website is http://www.hopemadereal.org/. Mama is in the process of building an education center where they will have preschool and kindergarten classes. Many of the children were abandoned or lost their parents from Aids. Through this ministry many young people now have hope and are actually able to attend college! I would encourage you to read Mama Arlene's story on the website. If you feel led, please make a donation (you can do this on their website). 100% of the money donated goes directly to the children!
