- Classroom Colors
A student group from Eckerd College in Florida was in Kigali last week to volunteer at Akilah. We put them to work right away and they helped us paint our classrooms. Students start classes on February 2 so the last week has been a flurry of activity – finishing the last bits of construction on the facilities, painting classrooms, moving in the furniture, installing the internet and more.
We are so grateful to the Eckerd team for coming all this way to help- and for making the classrooms look bright and beautiful! It is so important that the Akilah students are studying in an environment that inspires them. The blues and greens of the classrooms are a stunning compliment to the large windows that overlook the Nyarutarama valley.
