Birth Day with Heavy Rains

 God Speaks through nature

Rubanda Solidarity made it eight years old on 9th June.The celebration that always occurs in the month of June each year, is always done with the summer's dust to the hips and thirsty to the throats. But this year the story has been different.

Just after the celebration of the Holy Mass, unexpected and uncommon torrential rains filled all pots available in the school compound saving the kids from their laborious work of trekking for drinking water each day for weeks. " God has spoken to us today", one of the kids was heard whispering to her friend as rain drops started falling on their foreheads.

Throughout their  celebration, these kids sang joyfully and praised the wonder of God and his special love for kids. " He has given us Rubanda Solidarity, our school, we have knowledge and the future",they sang the verse.

Since the schools foundation, things have become different for these kids and the community. There is hope, smile and joy on their faces. They learn and play, regularly eat and sleep. They have time for God too as they sing and pray every day before they go to bed or rise. At this school, they have something unique, they have an opportunity to read the Word of God as well. "Oh we kids need to pray with God, he is our Father", one of them exclaimed playing. 

 " We are joyful and glad to God for Rubanda Solidarity for our future it constructs and our angelic voices and smiles it creates. It builds our hopes", their song continues.

However, they still have to struggle for safe and drinking water.
