Join us for an informational meeting about a Zoe trip to Rwanda to see how the Zoe model is empowering orphans and vulnerable children to move beyond charity.

During the 10-day trip, you will visit with and learn from young people who are engaged in each stage of the Zoe Empowers program. You may have an opportunity to be a guest in their homes. You will see how the relationships they have with fellow group members are providing them with an extended family within their communities. You will witness firsthand how their group projects and personal businesses are helping them to thrive in the midst of adversity. Those who are Zoe Empowerment Partners will have the chance to meet and spend time with their empowerment group.

In addition to your time spent with the Zoe Empowers children, you will also have the opportunity to take part in local tourism and a safari in Akagera National Park.

Trip cost is $1,710 plus airfare. We estimate total cost will be around $3,500-$4,000. Please visit www.zoeempowers.org to read more about Zoe trips to Rwanda. For more information, please contact: Rev. Brenda Brooks-Alexander
