Discor and nine other children returned from boarding school on Friday, July 16th for a month long break. Urukundo has 37 total children for the next 30 days. There are also Papa John and Mama Hope's children (another nine) that are just as much a part of the Urukundo family! Life with the secondary school children home is very good. Boarding schools are the best way to ensure a good education and life skills. We send our children to King David's Academy. A christian boarding school about an hour away. It is the oldest boarding school in Rwanda. King David's Academy has taught our children well. The first morning with the high schoolers brought a list of chores that were completed without us even asking! The maturity between those in boarding school and those in primary is big...not only because of age but because of life experience. We hope all our children can go to boarding school for their secondary education. It costs much more than public schools but it is worth the investment. The need for quality education is so evident with the return of our children. Education creates opportunities. Christian education empowers young people to be the Christ-led leaders of tomorrow. We hope to see many more schools developing as more and more children seek to further their lives through education.
