The traditional morning omelets were served quickly; have the Rwandans become accustomed to our pace? In any case, we begin to adapt to their way of doing things. The groups of the previous day were reformed and traded work places. It is thus towards Nyanza that we embarked on our delicious picnic in order to help the beneficiaries of Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium to construct an improved oven.
Building a kitchen garden
Seated in the shade of a banana tree at the terrace of our hotel, Corentin and I (Lyam) would like to take a few minutes to tell you about our adventures this day. We left around 8:30 in the morning, once our picnic was safely loaded into the 4×4.
Meeting the agronomy and veterinary students of Kabutare
A new day begins for us at 7:00 am. A little school excursion! Nothing is better than a good omelet before we pile into the jeeps. We’re full of energy, which will be necessary as we’re about to face the perilous and rocky roads of Africa.
Mwaramutse young Belgians!
Move for Africa is an awareness campaign on development cooperation, organized by the Belgian newspaper La Libre Belgique. Students from the Collège de Bellevue in Dinant travelled to Rwanda to discover the projects of Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium. They exchanged experiences with the local population to get a better view of development issues such as poverty and food security. On their trip, they wrote a blog.
