Today we catch or flight home to the UK after an amazing and very productive week in Rwanda. We have visited four schools all keen to take part in the Rwandan Schools’ orchid project as well as the inspiring Kitabi College and a number of impressive individuals from the Department of Education, Tourism and Conservation Department, RAEB and others.

This morning we had our significant final meetings with Dr Marie-Christine Gasingirwa, Director General Science Technology and Research at the Ministry of Education, John Rutayisire Director General of the Rwanda Education Board and two young graduates Theo and Eric who both have impressive research experience in the field of plant propagation.

Rwanda is fortunate to have so many committed people dedicated to improving the lives of Rwandan people and working for education, conservation and science in the country.
