"Ruanda- La classe a Issavi. De klas te Issavi." Ruanda [Rwanda] Approximately fifty school children are sitting outside on the grass or in front of wooden tables writing in books. A missionary sister is teaching them, and a board with the alphabet is attached to a pillar of the brick building behind the group. The back of the postcard is blank and contains information about the publisher: "Ern. Thill, Bruxelles." The back also contains information about the Catholic mission agency: "Postulats des Soeurs Missionnaires de N.-D. d'Afrique. (Soeurs Blanches du Cardinal Lavigerie) Herent (Br.)- Thielt (Fl. Oc.). Postulaten der Zusters Missionarissen van O.L.V. van Afrika. (Witte Zusters van Kardinaal Lavigerie) Herent (Br.) - Thielt (W. Vl.).
