Once again our long journey to Rwanda was without incident. All seven bags arrived! Praise the Lord! We were welcomed into open arms; our hearts were full. The evening was warm and humid. After a few hours of sleep and many hours of tossing and turning we finally made our way to breakfast and started our first day of our month long mission here.
Our first stop was to visit the Dream Center; we were in awe of the progress made since our last visit. After several introductions to the staff of Africa New Life we settled in for an extended meeting with Emma reviewing the Esther Home development. We then made our way to the Esther Home for more hugs and greetings.
The girls gathered for a State Of The Esther Home address from Ron. Ron focused on the importance on making education their first and utmost priority; touching on the program’s objective of raising them out of poverty; producing new leaders of Rwanda and affording them the opportunities to pursue their hopes and dreams for their futures. “Education, Education, Education” was the motto of the day.

oh the State of the Union of Ron Pepos. I have heard it all before. But it has helped make me who I am today!
