The Project Progresses

I have struggled to blog as we have been busy putting the documentation together on the advice to college leavers. There is some urgency since the document needs to be ready for printing on Sunday and on that day I leave for my teaching role in Butare in the south of the country. We have met with fomer students to learn their perspective on the recruitment process at the Groupe des Anciens Etudiants Rescapes du Genocide (Group of Former Student Survivors of Genocide). This is a well oganised group of young people who are helping one another to overcome the major difficulties they face. Our discussion moved on to politics more generally and those we met were keen to learn more about our system. I also found time to meet with one more employer, Raj Rajendran, MD of the textile manufacturer, Utexrwa, with whom I spent several days last year. It was great to see the progress the business has made in its new fields of silk production and mosquito nets as well as to find about the internships Raj is setting up in his business,
