Kat's Rwandan Adventure
| Hi! In January 2010 I'm heading off to the Musanze region of NW Rwanda, to work for FCYF (or Fair Children), a Rwandan-based charity that works alongside the local community to help restore peace and rebuild lives in an area ravaged by civil war and the genocide (www.fairchildrenrwanda.org). I'm going to be there for about 10 months so I'm hoping to use this page to update you on how I'm getting on, what I've been up to and show you some of my photos... hope you enjoy it! Any donations towards FCYF's fantastic work would be gratefully appreciated... and you'll be able to see how your donations are used by reading here! Thank you xx www.bmycharity.com/KatCollisRwandaAdventure |

| I’m on the two month countdown until I leave Rwanda which is a very scary thought… 10 months-away sounded like a really long time in January before I left, but the time seems to have whizzed by. Obviously I’... | ||||
