I'm sorry to seem to be slow in sending another blog, but we have been waiting for Paul Daltry's return from Rwanda to be able to send you some pictures.
And First! Proof that our efforts towards the end of last year were 
rewarded! 
The cows have arrived at the Theological College and here is the proof! This is one of 2 cows that were purchased. In the end the costs were higher than expected so the hoped for 3 didn't materialise, However both cows are pregnant! One calf has to go back to the supplier, but the second is theirs to keep. They have been able to build the shed with our money and also have funds for feeding etc.

i as Bishop of Kigali - a service which went on for 6 hours! followed by festivities. It must have been a real privilege for Paul to be there. Thanks you to those who contributed to his robes. If there is anyone who still would like to help with the cost (Rwanda Direct underwrote it), then Barbara Willingham our Treasurer would love to hear from you!

e made sure that Rwanda Direct got full benefit from Paul's visit! He was able to take £800 to Ceformi, the Diocesan Technical College in Kigali. In the past we have sent goods by Container, but have discovered that it is possible for Ceformi to purchase similar equipment in Rwanda (made of course in China!), so we wait and see how successful they are. They have a new Director (Japhet - I won't bother with the surname. It's long and unpronounceable!) who Paul says is a human Dynamo! Please pray for him and for the project. It had become somewhat run down, but we hope that Japhet will succeed in getting it turned around.

We particularly try to support their outreach to young people through Camps; also leadership training programmes. Paul was also pleased to be able to confirm the safe arrival of
sewing and knitting machines which were also sent in the last Container. This will enable Widows. victims of the genocide to create a self sufficiency project under the care of Scripture Union. The last picture is of the happy face of Jean Baptiste with some of the machine's (still boxed) behind.

I asked in the last blog, but so far no response. Even if you are unable to help you may know someone who can! Please ask friends and neighbours. We would love to be able to send one in the next Container due out on September.
Thanks for all your help, prayerfully and financially.
