Today we went a visited Rwamagana Lutheran School. Our new friends, Pastor John and Robyn, started this boarding school. Actually it is Robyn's baby but John is behind her 100%. So we traveled the 3 hours to get to Rwamagana. We had seen the building under construction and really liked the design so we were excited to see the building complete. We weren't disappointed. The two story building is beautiful. Robyn spent time explaining everything from good architects to use, builders that we could hire --to tips of what went well and what did not as she navigated the challenges of construction in Rwanda.
RLS has started with two classes of senior 1 (seventh grade). They will slowly bring other grades in but have plans for a dormitory soon so that children can stay on campus and revenue can be brought in. Robyn would like to start an association of protestant private schools so that we can learn from one another and share resources like teacher training. It was a great meeting today and we are excited to present our plan to the District and get going on construction soon!
