I have been friends with Mukiza and Gilbert for 2 weeks now but I feel like I could've known them my whole life. Our bond was out of this world. Not only did you teach me about life but it is because of you that we got to know and love each other the way we do. They were always willing to listen , loved to learn, always willing to share and enjoyed every single thing that came at them. Everytime i think of them i envision their smies. We went through all of this together
Amy, Aimee, Yael, Nori, Edwin, Maria, Axel, Aurelio, Oliver & thanks to everyone who helped and everyone we met along the way.
None of us have been to most of the places we went to and I am so glad that as a group we got to experience this beautiful journey. Kuleba Exchange has changed my life and me. I Miss You Mukiza and Gilbert. I Love You Guys! You will always be in my pocket aka my heart LOL

About Me
- Kuleba Exchange in Rwanda
- In our pilot exchange program, Kuleba Exchange brought four recent high school graduates to Rwanda in the summer of 2008: Maria Santana, Lissette Ortiz, Earl Middleton and Tiffany Lucy. In 2009, we invited two of our Rwandan students, Gilbert Nshimyumukiza and Jean Baptiste Mukiza, to the United States for a two week cultural exchange. Kuleba Exchange is an educational organization that uses photography and travel as a means of cultural exchange to foster tolerance, spark curiosity, and fuel imagination. Our goal is to create opportunities for disadvantaged youth to develop leadership skills while engaging with students from other cultures. We are especially committed to working with children who have survived war, genocide, and other atrocities. Our program makes it possible for students with limited resources to see the world and connect with children of diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences.
