Minnesota Nice To Rwanda



Minnesota Nice to Rwanda!

Mr. Kuntz and Mr. Cave would like to thank all of you for your support for our Minnesota Nice to Rwanda drive. Our hope was to collect a bag of clothes and a few hundred dollars to bring to our friend Bosco and the boys at the orphanage Centre Marembo.

When all was said and done we collected over 400 pounds of clothes, computer equipment, and other personal hygeine products and $2,500.00!

We have been overwhelmed by the response and the generousity of the BSM community.
