Ian’s off to Rwanda again
After the disappointment of failing to get funding from a Foundation, Signpost International and CED have scraped funds together themselves and I am off to Rwanda on 14th November to run a workshop to make cement tanks.
Since the genocide the church has gathered groups of children and formed a couple of settlements of around 30 houses, each with a social worker to support the children, many of whom are still traumatised. We plan to work with the older children to build tanks to catch rainwater from their roofs.
The project should help build their confidence as they learn new skills and should save a significant amount of the time they spend each day collecting water from puddles.
I’ll expect to get a blog going at http://www.rankin6.blogspot.com/.
