Although we were hard at work giving out shoes to the children of Rwanda, we found time to have a little fun too. We hit up every restaurant/hotel in Musanze (which is not saying much). We were entertained by several Intore dance troupes, which is the traditional dance of Rwanda that once performed for the Royal Courts and complete with tribal costumes, a drum orchestra, and warrior-like chants. Kris Allen performed at Sonrise chapel service and even helped me teach a class to my Seniors, including an impromptu song with several musical students in the class. One of the most memorable experiences was in our village, looking out on the most beautiful scenery in the world, with Kris surrounded by all of our precious village children singing “God of this City” and “Amazing Grace”.
