Hosted by Plan Canada, a select group of Canadian donors will visit a school construction project in Rwanda this September. Donors received a special invitation to join this exclusive trip when they made a significant contribution to help fund the education project.
This blog will chronicle our group's philanthropic journey halfway around the world: where they will meet with the local Plan staff who put their donation to excellent use; speak with the students who will benefit from the school they helped to build; and see, first-hand, how their support to Plan will positively change lives for generations to come.
We’ll visit with Plan communities to celebrate partnership, promise and hope, and meet with people who are leading lasting change for a better future. In addition to better understanding what it takes to build a school and improve education, we'll also learn how Plan Rwanda implements health, livelihood/micro-finance and child rights programs.
Along the way, the group will participate in one of the world’s best wildlife adventures – a private viewing of Rwanda’s mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. With only two populations (about 800 individuals) left in the world, a face to face meeting with these magical and majestic creatures is something very few people will experience and will no doubt be a personal highlight.
Stay tuned - we hope you will follow our adventure!
