Visit to Girls School & Residence

Today we went to visit the girls school residence we raised money for, in a town called Buhongwa.

We met some of the girls and they held a big celebration with our visit. The residence is about halfway built, with the bricks being fabricated (by hand) on site and the walls going up. We took lots of photos that we will share when we return home.

It was very emotional to actually see the school we all (committee, family & friends) worked so hard to raise money for. And all the smiles on the little faces! We felt extremely proud to be part of it.

Rosemary McNarney, the CEO of Plan Canada, has joined us here and is a wonderful, smart woman with amazing stories. We are learning a lot from her!

Love to everyone & home soon!
Sara & Maddy
