Last month, Drs Ken and Kim Dernovsek and I had the pleasure of visiting UCE Burundi. We thank Archbishop Martin Nyaboho and Rev. Onesiphore Ndayizigamiye and the entire UCE team for hosting us so well during our visit. Warm hospitality, bright colors, beautiful green scenery, scrumptious fresh fish, hardworking people, and underprivileged conditions are a few descriptors I would use to share about Burundi. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet the UCE Burundi team and see them in action. During our visit, we attended two traditional UCE outreaches, two UCE Club skits, one UCE outreach on the radio, and witnessed 725 students signing chastity commitment cards! We also had productive UCE team meetings. A highlight from the outreaches was at the end of our 1 hour UCE radio broadcast: A man named Enoch called in to thank UCE for the message and say that from this moment forward, “I will now be faithful to my wife”! Dr Kim Dernovsek responded to him, and all the on-air listeners, “while some have the opportunity to sign a UCE chastity card in person, the radio listeners can join Enoch and sign a card in their hearts”! The English saying, “a picture shows 1,000 words” very much applies to this trip. I invite you to travel to UCE Burundi through this short, fun, four minute Burundi video. No need to spend many hours in an airplane! All the music was recorded there as were the photos taken there during the trip. Enjoy a taste of UCE Burundi!
