Come to the Banquet of Hope!

Alexis Bilindabagabo, an Anglican bishop and survivor of the Rwandan genocide, will speak at the eleventh annual Hospitals of Hope banquet at Central Christian Church in Wichita at 6:45 pm on March 6. A three-time refugee, Bishop Bilindabagabo has written a book about his experiences, titled Rescued by Angels. He is the founder of the Barakabaho (‘Let them live’) Foundation, the largest NGO in Rwanda, which cares for children orphaned by the genocide. Bishop Bilindabagabo will be working with Hospitals of Hope to send a 40 foot container of medical supplies to Rwanda later this year.

A silent auction will also be held at the event.

Dinner will be provided; semi-formal dress is requested. Please RSVP by February 25th. Guests are welcome to invite others who may be interested in learning about Hospitals of Hope's work.
