Headed Back to Rwanda!

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

After a long, extended time at home, a new adventure back to Rwanda is ahead of me. As of September 1st I will begin full time staff as the Special Projects Director for an organization called Project Rwanda (www.projectrwanda.org). I wanted to share the great news with you! I will be flying back to Rwanda September 6th. I will be working with Project Rwanda in many fashions, but my main purposes will revolve around coordinating the Wooden Bike Classic race and helping with the bike distribution program that distributes bikes to farmers through microfinace loans.

I am very excited about returning to Rwanda! It is almost hard to believe that in less then three weeks I will be back. I have deeply missed my friends and work there. I encourage to join me once again on the journey back to Rwanda. Just like last time, I will be writing and updating my blog: http://mountain-tops.blogspot.com/. Please feel free to check it out and stay up to date with what is going on.

Also, before I leave and even over the next year I will continue to collect soccer cleats, socks, shirts, and shorts. If you are interested you can either mail these items or drop them at my house. All mail, donations, and/or love notes ;) can be sent to this address:

Even though I will be receiving a paid salary, I am still accepting donations for school fees. Currently, myself along with the amazing St. Matthews By the Sea Church have been sponsoring three students, Sureyman, Napathali, and Gaston. There is still a great need to sponsor other students. Please, please consider sponsoring.

Last and probably most importantly, can you please continue to pray for me and the country of Rwanda. Whatever God lays on your heart, just pray. Thank you for sharing in this excitement with me.

Lots of love to you,
~Jenny
