Kigali Kids...Back to School

Thanks to many wonderful and generous givers as we have been able to send the first sum of funds to Kigali in January.

  • School reopened in Rwanda on 8th January 2007.
  • DNA Networks, Colchester transferred £1330 ($2500.60) to the Burning Bush Church, Kigali on 5th January 2007 through Western Union.
    (There was a transfer charge of £30 incurred for this amount)
  • Most of the funds were from the collection taken at DNA Networks Carol Service and Christmas Service
The money has been utilised to pay the school fees and many of the children are back at school in 2007. We hope to receive a full report next week from Pastor Egide Murekezi, Leader of the Burning Bush Church in Kigali and it will be published on this page. (Check also current Funds Position by clicking the left side-bar link and download the details)

Please contact us if you wish to organise an event to raise funds for all the children and young people at the Burning Bush Church to go back into education in 2007...
More funds are needed (approx £4200) to cover all the children and young people for the whole year (check sponsorship details for primary, secondary and university level)

Next Event: 26/01/07 Essex University Chinese Christian Fellowship (Shooting Dogs Film Evening)


Extract from the last email we received from the church is copied below.
