Madina.

Madina is one of the IGP Refugee Assistants in Nyabiheke Camp.

Her son, Cedric, was born December 21 in the Nyabiheke Camp Health Center.

He is sweet and lively and has a smile just like his mother's.

Best wishes to them both for a long, healthy and peaceful life.

More Savings Groups.

In the past month I have had the opportunity to attend Savings Group meetings in Kiziba and Nyabiheke Camps.

Here are some photos that tell the story better than I ever could:


Money Counters verify deposits in front of the whole association.



Each group member has a number card that she must bring to each meeting. The group always sits in numerical order. This woman's number 3 indicates that she is the Association Treasurer.



Note the lace tablecloth, carefully placed for the Association meeting.



This man has purchased the maximum number of shares for a single savings meeting. You can see that there are five stamps in his book.



Ernest is one of our Refugee Assistants in Kiziba Camp. In this photo he is observing a group meeting being facilitated by one of his colleagues. Later he will share his observations and feedback with his colleague.
