As the blog below described, we visited on Sunday three houses where a few children had the responsibility to raise their younger siblings. It was heart breaking while we listened as each one was introduced and their story was explained to us. At dinner that night, we had a few questions that we all struggled with after that experience with the Runda Children.
*What is the impact we had on the children for providing one meal and playing with the kids for a few hours?
*Can we provide any other service or offer any help for them besides just playing with them?
*Should we go back and hear more of their stories and talk to them about their faith, even though most of the children speak Kinyarwandan? (we could have Floriane translate).
Rodney, Floriane’s husband, sparked the conversation and said he felt conflicted with our short visit with the kids. He also mentioned that some of these children will be apart of NCV when it’s finished. Floriane did say every time she’s in Rwanda, she visits the Runda kids and brings clothing and food for them.
We all agreed that another visit is necessary, even though it wasn’t in our very flexible agenda. ☺
