Earlier this week I received a wonderful email from Dr. Immaccullee. She became a fast friend and is one of the most incredible women I have met. She definitely made our experience in Rwanda very special.
Immaccullee is the mother to six gorgeous children and is the Executive Director and Madam Chair for the Secretariat of National Steering Committee for social science research in the field of HIV/AIDS-MCP-Rwanda. This woman has a heart of gold and it was an absolute pleasure to spend two weeks with her and to meet many of the woman and children she helps at Faith Victory Association (FVA) in Kigali.
FVA has a mission to help eradicate poverty, reduce HIV infections and help communities in capacity building programs aimed at the transformation of society.
Here is the email she sent me:
Dear Melanie
hope you and your family are doing well.
we are thankful to God that we now have the relevant documentation and authorization to begin construction of the Faith Victory Association – Village of Hope, starting with the Orphanage - Phase I of the project.
It is with great joy that we inform you that we will be celebrating the launching of the construction of the village on Tuesday 22 June 2010 in Rusororo, Gasabo District, Kigali on the Village of Hope site. The launching will begin with a word of thanks & prayer, and then we will dedicate and anoint the site, thereafter the builders will proceed with their work and begin to lay the foundations.
We will begin with the construction of one of the Apartment blocks which will have four (4) homes.
We are truly thankful for the support given; and your participation in the realization of this dream. And as we continue to work together we shall see many vulnerable children’s lives being changed to the glory of God.
Once the launch is over and construction begins we will send you update and photos of our progress at the Village of Hope.
please convey our greetings to your family.
we miss you and we can't wait to see you again in Rwanda.
God bless you,
