At Rutonde our porridge and goats project is bearing fruit, or at least kids.

I am back in Rwanda staying at Scripture Union guest house. This time, Mary from Loanhead Parish Church has accompanied me.

I arrived in Kigali on my own, in the dark and late at night after a long journey from Edinburgh which included a 2-hour delay in Brussels due to snow and all I could ask myself was “What on earth

Waking with the sun, I lay in bed until the hot water was delivered in jerry cans.

We visited Rutonde yesterday and got really good vibes from this community. First we had a short bus ride to Nyabugogo where we met Pastor Jean d'Amour.

On Monday we visited Eglise Vivant at Kibungo, an hour's bus ride east of Rwamagana and not far from the Tanzanian border.

It was good to catch up with old friends at Meg Foundation School last week and meet the four classes of nursery children.

An exciting night. Heavy rain on the roof made any effort at sleep futile. The frequent lightning and ear-splitting thunderclaps overhead provided entertainment by way of compensation.

We were visiting some of the children who have been through our porridge project at Rutonde and at one house noticed a plastic pail with a bottle beside it.
