Today’s idea comes from Aimable Harerimana. He’s the headmaster of a school in Rwanda that’s within walking distance from Nyabiheke Refugee Camp, where we work.
The headmaster wanted to bring together both the refugee and host communities his schools serves in a fun, get-to-know-you type environment.
Aimable’s idea? To bring them together through volleyball! They do have a volleyball court, but the net has long been missing along with volleyballs and pumps.
Making Aimable’s wish come true was easy! We got him and his students a whole new volleyball set complete with pumps, a net, and volleyballs, of course.
The kids had everything they needed for a game to get underway. And our Rwanda team jumped right in, volleying back and forth with the kids. They’re not only humanitarians, they play a mean game of volleyball, too!
