Thanks to Dana, Alex, Tanja, and all Zoey's friends in Peterborough who have donated books, clothes, pen and pencils, and toys. I will be taking the items to Faith Victory Association in Kigali - they'll be Christmas gifts for the kids!
T-18 days until I leave!
Please donate $50 to Global Relief and Development Partners' Social Entrepreneurship Program and Faith Victory's Orphanage in Kigali, Rwanda. Every dollar makes a difference.

She is also working with Gisimba Orphanage, Faith Victory Association, she is funding the education of a 15 year old orphan she met in Kigali, and plans an annual art fundraiser (www.artforafrica.info). Melanie is thrilled to be working with Global Relief and Development Partners, where their level of passion matches her own. Melanie’s formal education and experiences volunteering have prepared her for this life-changing journey. She has traveled to over 26 countries, working and volunteering in many of them.
