Year 5 had a very successful trip to the Wellspring Overnight Camp in Wadi El Beit last week. High ropes, Zip wires and other team building activities were enjoyed by all. Teachers were so proud to see so many of our students overcoming their initial fears and taking a risk. The three days of the camp were nonstop and, needless to say, the buses were much quieter on the journey home!

Two of our newest North American team members, Quentin & Louise, are currently in Rwanda experiencing Wellspring's work for the first time, and already they are sending some very encouraging reports. Today, Quentin had the opportunity to visit one of the remote Rubavu schools that we are currently working in, and was inspired by the difference that a mobilized parent community is making there (including seeing student dropout rates reduced to zero)!

Antoine*, a teacher, now understands that support and encouragement are crucial to his students’ success. Instead of beating kids for wrong answers like he used to, he uses Wellspring's positive behavioural management techniques. He helps his students work through their mistakes and applauds them when they find the solution. #storyofone *A pseudonym
April 2019 was an exciting month at Wellspring, as we began our direct work with teachers in Rwanda's Rubavu district! Since our work started in Rubavu, we've been investing first in leadership and in mobilizing parent communities, which has laid a strong foundation and resulted in a sense of anticipation among teachers. The result was that 149 of the 150 invited teachers attended our first training workshop in April! Our Senior Program Manager shared just this week that "God is doing miracles in Rubavu, and the school leaders, teachers and parents we are working with are just amazing! They attend workshops in big numbers, they are eager to learn, participation is very high. You can see people who are thirsty to learn how to do things better." We look forward to sharing more with you as this journey continues ...

Experiments and lessons like this one help develop the minds of the next great scientists! #WellspringWednesday

We love and honour our teacher friends in Rwanda! Not only are they educators, but are encouragers and mentors. They play a crucial role not only in the lives of children, the future generation, but in their communities. That's why Wellspring invests in teachers to best invest in their students. • Did you have a favourite teacher growing up?
