After trekking, we asked our driver to take us to an orphanage in Musenza that has kids ages 2-17. Each of us brought a suitcase of clothes, school and athletic supplies to donate. We did not anticipate how amazing the kids would be. We spent the afternoon with 30 kids singing, dancing, playing soccer and just hanging with them. The teen girls LOVED talking to Saxby about her life and her boyfriend Cooper. They grabbed the cameras and took these photos. This orphanage is privately run and looks after kids that lost their parents in the genocide and subsequent rebel wars or through diseases like AIDS. You can send donations to this place directly without worry that the funds will be confiscated at: AIDP Africa, PO Box 124, Musanza, Rwanda. Or go to www.amahoroproject1919.org
