Rwanda: Rural Education

From April to June of 1994, in a span of 90 days, a million men, women and children were murdered in Rwanda, many by neighbors and even family members. In just 28 years the people of Rwanda have rebuilt their nation and reconciled this tragic genocide in ways that are nothing short of miraculous. Today Rwanda is a peaceful people and a growing economy, welcoming international support with open arms. The 2025 Rollins in Rwanda Field Study, the seventh of its kind, will offer students an opportunity to live and work side by side with children, families, teachers and villagers in rural Rwanda for two weeks on selected projects to include: community gardening, health, and nutrition initiatives, co-teaching in community schools, English teaching, community literacy projects, and others. Includes visits to Akagara National Park in Eastern Province, Kigali, and the Kigali Genocide Memorial.

Application Deadline: November 4, 2024
