When we returned we had a meeting with quite a few of the students who have been supported through secondary school and now being supported in university. A few are finished, a few will graduate next month, and the rest have a year or two left. It was nice to hear their stories and how they are doing.
There was noticeable change in the area from when we first started going to Rwanda. It is good to see the improvements in the animal husbandry. They say they are learning many things from the paraveterinarian, Felicien, that is enabling them to make the improvement. The crop yields are increasing as well. They had a good yield on a maize crop and are saving the seeds that was given to them by the Udder Project for future crops.
It is wonderful to see how people can work together! Rachael encouraged them to keep working hard, that it takes time to generate lasting change, but, it would all pay off in the end!
