Going Back.



Next Friday at this time I will be landing in Kigali, returning to Rwanda and these green hills for my longest stay yet.

I will be there for six months, working with the IGP groups and other refugees in the camps to provide training and support for them to start and manage Voluntary Savings and Lending Associations. This is an important initiative that will build capacity and extend the reach and impact of the Income Generation Program in the camps.

Things are quite unsettled in the DRC at the moment, especially in the eastern areas that are home to the refugees that we serve. I've added a link to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs so that you can stay up to date on the situation there.

I'll do my best as always to keep my blog current.
