Mentoring Project

Our team met today to start work on our project. We will be providing advice on applying for jobs to young people who are survivors of the 1994 genocide and who are being supported by our friends from SURF. We met at SURF's headquarters just outside Kigali located on the site of a memorial to victims where 40,000 bodies are interred. We have a plan in place to firstly find more about the needs of local employers and the current level of knowledge of the people we are helping. We will then draw up a presentation and a toolkit to leave behind for those who follow using the broad range of skills within our group. It's good to be making a start!
