Building Hope at Rwanda Children's Ariel Camp
|
Moved by a recent visit to Rwanda, Foundation staffer Heather Mason Kiefer wrote a Note From the Field sharing her experience:
"I'll never forget any of this, but what will stay with me above all else is the children's health and vitality. From 5:30 in the morning until 9:30 at night, they sang, danced, ate, ran, jumped rope, played soccer, and laughed. The children's energy was limitless - and every one of them is living with HIV. These children are living proof that the Foundation's programs are not only saving lives, but also enriching them."
