Yvetta and Georgia have been working on orchid life cycle with Jess and Georgia.

The first day workshops at FAWE have been a great success with Aaron leading a workshop on Data logging to prepare for data collection in Nyungwe, Jacob leading a botany workshop (Orchid in a box) and Chloe leading a workshop on growing media preparation.

What an interesting sight we had at FAWE today: black-headed weavers (perching on a branch) and a hadada ibis (on its nest). Both were on the same tree, which was full of the hanging nests of the weavers. This was the first time I have seen hanging nests!

Hi it’s Georgia here, I would blog with my account but the internet isn’t going my way. Anywho, on our first morning in Rwanda we saw a Black Kite flying over the beautiful city scape of Kigali. They can be found in the UK, Europe and Asia, for you budding travellers

James explains 3D printing to Sister Eugenie, headteacher at FAWE. The printer sponsored by manufacturer Robox with materials sponsored by the Dyson Foundation will stay at FAWE with ongoing support from James. The FAWE girls will have their first workshop this afternoon.
