Kiziba Classroom.

To those of you who have seen my photos from previous trips to Rwanda, the classroom in Kiziba Camp may look familiar. In fact, much about it does remain the same--the wooden benches, the colorful clothing, the posters on the walls.

But there is also something that has changed, more difficult to see if you are not here yet very evident to me. The IGP groups that are attending our trainings are more confident, more engaged and more enthusiastic than ever. Their eyes are brighter, they look healthier and better groomed, and they are eager to talk about all of the ways in which the Income Generation Program has helped them, their families and their community.

Here are some photos from our workshop today—their first time playing the Marketing Mix Game. Anitha, our IGP Coordinator, led the class, assisted by Titia, one of our Refugee Assistants. Leah and I observed, listened and enjoyed. It was wonderful.
