In March 2015, MCW convened an organizational-wide meeting in Kigali, Rwanda as part of the strategic planning process. The MCW International Board of Directors, MCW Country Board Members, Africa and U.S.-based staff participated in the strategic planning process facilitated by Wellspring Consulting. During the meeting, MCW team members visited the MC-Rwanda Center in Bugesera where they had the opportunity to see cultural performances by the center dance troupe, take a tour of the center, and have discussions with the center staff and participants. MCW was honored to welcome Ambassador Erica J. Barks-Ruggles, the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Rwanda, at the center.
