We are so lucky with the friends we meet who volunteer with us. This is a letter from a family we got to know in March of this year, we and they thoroughly enjoyed our time together. I hope you enjoy their letter.

I hope you will enjoy this latest newsletter about Denys who attended the first tailoring class in 2008 – the letter itself is a collaboration between two of our students who wrote it and took the photographs (I may be becoming redundant !!). It is a lovely success story and reflects a part of the project which I do not often talk about.

This newsletter is not about events in Rwanda but in the UK for a change. I was very surprised and pleased to receive a letter out of the blue from the British Prime Minister with a certificate for the Points of Light Award which is given to recognise the work of volunteers who make a difference in the communities in which they serve.
