Virunga Valley Academy: Why We Made Our Home in the Virungas

We could be based anywhere in the Gorilla Highlands region, but our choice is Musanze under the Virungas. The reason is very simple: it isn’t easy to get quality education in rural Africa, and here in the north of Rwanda we have found a remarkable international school.

We’ve invited our little Lan to tell you more about it, as honestly as only a child can. If you wish to see it with your own eyes, contact Virunga Valley Academy on +250 783 963 561.
