Goodbye Rwanda - Monday 6th

As our time in Rwanda come to an end and we head in various directions towards home I thought I'd reflect upon what a team of 7 achieved - with the support of many from home. If you have prayed for us, supported us through attending a high tea or just donated, you made all of the following possible.

Musanze - Shyira Diocese

• trained 65 early childhood teachers
• trained 40 diocesan staff, school administrators in English an IT

All of these people were accommodated, feed and transported to the training.
We use translators and the one doing IT was trained so he can now deliver the training.

• 7 treadle sewing machines (thank you Hope UC)
• 3 electric sewing machines (thank you Hope UC)
• electric iron
• US $350 worth of fabric, zippers, cotton thread, scissors, tailoring tools
• US $1,000 was left for a years worth of ongoing training and more materials

We also left 14 laptops with the Shyira Diocese
