The 250 students at Agahozo-Shalom are more than half way through the academic year. The past few months have been filled with exciting events at the village and throughout the country. In May, the village celebrated National Women's Day and then marked Earth week with lectures and events about environmentalism. In June, a group of 21 Tufts University Students spend 10 days volunteering at the village. They joiined the Agahozo-Shalom students in their tikkun olam service projects, helping the local community in community service by building homes, working in the medical clinic nearby and teaching at the local elementary school. Tufts' support enabled Agahozo-Shalom to finish construction on playing fields and stadium seating in time to host the National Soccer Team at the end of June. Construction is also underway on our new science center and health and wellness center, both of which will be open in December when our new class of 125 students joins the ASYV community.
