The Latest Buzz

Things are happening!  Foundation of Hope has begun the latest round of tuition payments to Rwanda.  So far at least 40 children are set for the school year and Felix is working very hard to take care of around a dozen more payments.  Felix is our dedicated and wonderful liaison in Rwanda.  All of this is possible due to his hard work verifying the children's information and delivering tuition money.  We are very blessed to have him on our team. 

On Feb 25-26, FOH is travelling to Russell, PA to participate in a Women's Conference and then perform a full concert on Saturday night.  We will also sing in the church services on Sunday morning.  It is a great opportunity get out there and minister to people in our region, while also sharing our commitment and burden for these young people in Rwanda.

Sandra and Alex are up and coming artists!  They collaborated on a photography exhibit that is being shown through March titled, "The Aesthetics of Atrocity."  This exhibit showcases many survivors of the Gatumba massacre.  The portraits were taken by Sandra and Alex.  There is also 4-5 listening stations to hear testimony of survivors.  It is a touching exhibit.  I am so proud of them both. 

Cliff Hanger Alert:  Sandra is going to be part of something AWESOME in March!  Just think BIG, EXCITING, and beyond any one's imagination!  Once she gives me the OK to share, I will post! 

Keep the  children in Rwanda in your prayers, along with the FOH choir here and in Africa.  Also, please pray for funds to begin building a secondary school in Rwanda that will provide ongoing care for many refugee children in Rwanda.  We want to help many more children in need.
