Victory House

Today I visited my first Rwandan orphanage. I had the privilege of touring Victory House, which is an orphanage run by missionaries from the Victory Churches. It originated in Canada. The couple running it for this two year stint are from Colorado. They also have an adorable little boy.

The orphanage houses 59 kids ranging from the age of 17 to 1. They have a little cafeteria, library, family room where all the kids come together each night, and dorms with adorable bunk beds. The orphanage has some of its own animals and farm land to produce food.

It was a pleasure to see good work being done. These kids were obviously very well cared for. It was also great to visit with Americans. Each connection made is a new prospect for a secondary project so I may have more stories to come.
