Youth Exchange | 1,500 | The money was awarded to allow a youth exchange programme to take place involving 8 young people from Edinburgh and Livingston to Rwanda. The project had a 10 month preparation programme before going in order to prepare the group for the challenges they would face.
Whilst in Rwanda the programme had a community based focus and the group were involved in volunteering activities at the Faith and Hope Primary School in the rural area of Gako approximately 30 miles from Kigali. The group also took part in music and dance workshops, visited the Genocide Memorial Centres, as well as taking part in activities at a Rain Forest. |
