Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, belatedly, to all of my friends and family in the United States.

We have much for which to be thankful, even in these challenging times, and on behalf of ARC Rwanda I would like to thank the foundations and individuals who continue to support the work of the Income Generation Program.

The work continues despite the holidays. Tomorrow, Monday December 1, I will be going to Gihembe Camp for a three day planning workshop for our 2009 IGP/VSLA Program.

On Tuesday we will have all of the refugee animators from the three camps together to do a small training session on how to support the savings groups that will be sharing out there money at the end of the year. I plan to attend as many of these share out meetings as possible and will try to post photos of that.

Then on Wednesday and Thursday the IGP Coordinators will be meeting to finalize our program plans for 2009, now that our sources of funding have been confirmed.

Deepest thanks, again, to our generous and supportive sponsors. We could not do our work without you.
