Volunteering in Rwanda is something that I have always wanted to do. I left Rwanda in 1993, due to the genocide, and ever since that I can remember, I have always wanted to go back, work with children, help them, look after them, make them smile, and make a difference. 

I am really excited to have been accepted on the Childrens' ProgrammeAs a result of the 1994 genocide, many children have become orphans with no trace of a single member of their family line. A high percentage of these children have also lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. Most orphaned children have endured psychological trauma which is evident to date. As a volunteer, I shall be taking on the role of an older sibling and be involved in daily care activities which include feeding, teaching life skills, and playing with the children. I will be working alongside the house mothers to assist with teaching, homework help, childcare, and the daily operational running of the home, and help organise arts and crafts, music, dance, games, and sports activities for the children.

Please follow my blog, where you'll be have updates of my journey to going to Rwanda, and be part of an amazing volunteering project to change childrens lives.

  • Dear Louise, I am an American who recently returned from a year in Rwanda which changed my life. Your story really touched me and I want to help contribute to your journey. I know how hard it is to make such an expensive trip... I too am hoping to save up enough money so I can go back to Rwanda one day. I am an architect who wants to study the beautiful vernacular buildings and landscape. Good luck! Jennifer
