securedownloadPlease join Mission Schools International (MSI) at San Francisco’s Haines Gallery on Dec. 2 for an evening of cocktails, merriment, and mingling in support of an extraordinary new education model in Rwanda. MSI will offer a holistic program focused on science, technology, and entrepreneurship which will help create a dynamic and self-sustaining Rwandan economy.  MSI is assisting the Rwandan government to create Africa’s first-ever secondary school national curriculum in entrepreneurship.  After being inspired you will have the opportunity to donate to this ground-breaking cause.  Please RSVP at http://www.pingg.com/rsvp/7tyjk4pe8sqjbj4bp For more about MSI please go to www.missionschoolsinternational.org

Mission Schools International (MSI) will build a network of secondary schools whose graduates fundamentally transform the Rwandan economy.  MSI will offer a comprehensive program that combines exceptional education, basic healthcare, and proper nutrition.  MSI will support Rwanda’s economic development strategy of building a knowledge-based economy by providing a rigorous academic program focusing on science, technology, and entrepreneurship.   MSI is working closely with the Rwandan government to open its first school in January 2011 in Rwinkwavu, a rural village in the poorest province in Rwanda.  MSI graduates will be the scientists, bankers, programmers, and innovators who create a self-sustaining, middle-income Rwandan economy.
