Rwanda
This photo was taken in Kigali, Rwanda during the annual Peace Marathon. We used the small grant to bring a group of students to the capital from our village - most the first time they had ever been. The students ran in the marathon while also receiving lessons about health, HIV/AIDS, and making good choices in their diets. The students gained confidence in running a marathon relay where each member ran 10 kilometers. This photo exhibits some of the pride and strength felt by each member on that weekend spent in the capital.
