From Callum (Comfort Rwanda)

I would like to take this opportunity of commending the pupils of Kilsyth Academy on the way they have conducted themselves on this trip. They have been a credit to themselves, their school and their country. Their behaviour has been excellent with absolutely nothing of concern throughout the trip. But even more importantly their engagement with the people of Rwanda and especially our partners in Rwanda who have worked hard to welcome and inform them has been very encouraging. They have not only got their hands dirty in practical help but they have shown consistent respect and interest in the people they have met. They have rarely complained when conditions have been difficult and when the heat, culture, driving and constant countless children have been draining. The children on the street kids rescue have loved them and their insights during the nightly 'reflections' have shown that they have thought deeply about the issues they have met. Parents have reason to be very proud as has the school!

  1. We always knew they were a great group of young people but they have clearly excelled themselves on this trip and have surpassed all our expectations. We are all very proud of what they have achieved. Thank you for looking after them all and for giving them the experience of a lifetime!
