Wrapping Up Rwanda--Part 3--The Medical Clinic
One of the exiting projects Grace has the privilege of supporting is the building of a 45 bed medical clinic in Rwanda. The project is lead by Pastor John. What makes this project unique is that is is driven by the local community. They are building it. It creates jobs for the local people. The government is helping financially (as are other organizations like ours) but the community is holding the government accountable on this project vs the other way around. Rather than us Americans imposing our projects on the Rwandans, they are taking the initiative and ownership on this and we are simply partnering with them to make it happen. Here are a couple of pics of the work so far:

Thanks. You ask, we deliver. Our crack blog staff has responded with the search box you requested. Thanks for reading and for the great suggestion.
Pastor Tim,
My heart is filled with joy looking on the progress that has been made on the Medical Clinic. Tom, Braden, Anna, and I are settled in Maryland but we will pray for all the amazing things God continues to do through the great people in our old church community, your fantastic leadership, and above all, the faith and determination of the Rwandan people. I look forward to a time that I can serve for a week or two in the clinic. May God Bless all that you are doing in Rwanda!!
