Photo Friday: The Story of The Maranyundo School

On Monday, November 18, Sister Juvenal visited HGSE to share the story of The Maranyundo School, an independent, all-girls middle school in an impoverished section of Rwanda. A remarkable collaboration between a South Boston nun, a group of Boston women, a Rwandan leader, and an order of Rwandan nuns, The Maranyundo School opened in 2008, and in the first three years it ranked third, then second, and then first in the national O level exams. Sister Juvenal spoke about what it is like to work on a successful collaboration and why it is especially important to focus on the education of girls in Rwanda. (Photo by Matt Weber.)
