Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they’ve never had before. They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.
Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships, and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School. About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid. All the students are male, because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.
