New Water System Celebrated in Rwanda

A new water system in a Rwandan village, partly funded by the Forest Hills Rotary Club, recently was celebrated.

Arlene Brown recently celebrated a new water system with her Rwandan village in Africa, which was partly funded by the Forest Hills Rotary Club.

Brown is a nurse who runs an orphanage for children in the Urukundo Village of Rwanda called the Urukundo Home for Children. It was established five years ago.

There, Brown houses, feeds and gives love to 46 boys and girls; oversees a farm, school and a residence; and now has a new system for gathering fresh water through a grant made possible with the Forest Hills Rotary and Rotary International.
