Cows on the Cornhill 
Rwanda Direct has been supporting colleges in Rwanda for some time and, in conjunction with “Tools with a Mission”, recently sent a container load of tools to the Technical College in Ceformi, and a similar college in Gahini. This will help the teenage students learn a skill, so that they can take up a trade.
Some new and reconditioned computers were also sent out for use by the College on its IT course.
However, there is a need for the College to be self sufficient in food, so that the students can be provided for.
Local Rwanda Direct Secretary, David Meikle writes “, the College has a good bit of land, and this year they had a particularly good harvest of sorghum, providing plenty of porridge for the students! They also now have a cow which is about to calve. However to provide sufficient milk for the students, they need more!
SO! We would like to be able to give them a Christmas present of another cow! A good cross breed cow costs in Rwanda £900 to buy, so that is our aim. Will you help us? When thinking of Christmas presents, will you remember Rwanda, and give a gift for the cow? Any amount, large or small would be welcome. It would be good if together we could raise the £900. Any gifts can be handed to Jonathan, or any other member of the RD team.
In addition we are planning to have a ‘cow’ walking through the Cornhill on December 19th, to raise awareness and hopefully add to our funds for the cow! For this to be successful we need volunteers to be the cow! We have got the costume! Also we need people walking with the cow, giving out leaflets and collecting money. CAN YOU HELP?”
