Stories
On Saturday, we received an unexpected burger order for 10 people. Typically, we do not serve on Saturdays, but the whole team rallied together to deliver a quality experience. Most of the guests, who were visiting from Kigali, loved our burgers and expressed a wish that we had a location in their city.
A returning Murugo guest, Sandra, stayed with us again over the weekend and brought two large boxes of clothes and shoes from Kigali for the kids in our mentorship program. This is the largest clothing donation we've received, and it's been incredibly heartwarming to see. The kids were in great need of new shoes and clothes.
Moise, Aimé, Olivier, their friend David, and Honorine, the newest member of our mentorship program, rocking their new outfits.
