Entrepreneurship or Income generation to you.


Well! In addition to the building making rapid progress other brilliant things are happening as well. Today we had a visit from Musafiri who is the Field Officer for ACSD - African Community for Sustainable Development. This group works in Nyamasheke District and they help people living in the rural areas to learn new skills and eventually set up their own businesses. 


Many of our friends in Gasundwe are cultivators but their hard physical labour is not always profitable. So the possibility of learning a new trade and starting a business is very exciting and gives hope for a brighter future.
Once again this link came about because of my work with VSO. My colleague, Brigid, who was a volunteer in this district gave me the contact with ACSD and Alexis and I went to visit them last week. As you know things happen quickly in Rwanda. You can't let the grass grow under your feet. We need it for the cows! So today. Masifiri came to visit us and opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Thankyou Brigid.
