Today we toured the NGO Gardens for Health and learned more about their work to improve nutritional education in Rwanda. Their model was very interesting by bringing women in from health centers and providing them with nutritional documents and supplies in order to ensure that the women have the seeds and resources necessary in order grow nutritionally valuable foods. We walked around the garden and weeded a plot of land, that is what I am doing in the picture attached! The other picture is me and Clara exploring the grounds of the garden as we were learning more about the different plants and how they give the mothers the supplies they need. Then we ate with the people in the organization and met a class of children that were eating with us. I remember that I had crayons in my backpack so I pulled them out and colored with all of the children. It made me happy to see that something so small, aka a crayon could bring so many smiles to people. We sat and ate for a long time and then we headed back home. Watching us travel through the rural areas gave me a new perspective and gave me a greater appreciation for the things that I have in my life.
