Let's Dance



We then moved onto the other two groups. Our last visit was to the group outside who were sitting in the shade under a large tree. They immediately sang and danced for us. This group was even more energized and when the Esther Home girls began to sing and dance the women sang and danced right along with them. At one point Evas and Claire gathered Nicole and I together and started dancing with us, other Esther Home girls followed and before we knew it we were dancing with the women in the group. It went on and on. It was electrifying.

It was then time to leave these beautiful women. They all extended their good wishes to us and after many hugs we were on our way.

We stopped at my “sister” Claudine’s home as she had a gift for me. She had made me a large Inkangara basket and gifted us a box of fruit. Her parents were most welcoming and were once again overjoyed at our visit.

As we drove away our hearts were full and it again validated the great work that Women For Women International is doing.

During our visit to Rwanda we have met several other women that had been in the program and were profoundly impacted by their experience and training by the WFW organization.

I believe that the Esther Home girls too were inspired by the program and the impact it is having on the people of their country.
