Vets, Paravets and the Food Security Team!!

7/21/2015

This morning we started with a meeting with Chrysostome, Pastor Augustin (new Food Security coordinator), and the rest of the Food Security team to discuss our schedule for the 10 days we are here in Kigeme - and what a schedule it is!!!  'So much to do, so little time!'

Then we went on to a meeting with the Paravets - all 16 of them!  During this time Rachael, Felicien and Viateur did some training for the technicians all about disease transmission, biosecurity and then a cautionary note around which drugs to suggest to farmers with a warning about people selling fake drugs.  Many thanks to our friend JC for his help with translation!!  This session was to 'train the trainers'.  With a couple more demonstrations from our dynamic Vet team, the paravets will take over teaching in their communities.

This group of paravets is a very enthusiastic bunch of young men and women, very keen to learn.  Great things to come!!

We took a break for lunch, then Dr's Felicien and Viateur came to meet with Rachael and Carolyn to casually discuss how they see the job being divided between the two Veterinarians  now that Viateur is finished his studies and back in town.  There was a great discussion over this, about the projects themselves as well as future plans.  We are very confident in these two gentlemen!!

We then wandered up to the Vet office to deliver the supplies Rachael managed to collect from different sponsors in Canada including Zoetis and Western Drug Distribution Centre. 
Afterwards we strolled back down the hill - we are enjoying the new roads and the new look of Kigeme - for those of you who have been here you will certainly notice the difference!

"So much to do, so little time!" Yes! This is life. Don't worry! At the end you will see that everything has been done.
