My connection with Rwanda is more recent, dating back to 2000 when a friend visited Rwanda. His descriptions of his experiences, and his photos led to a group of 11 people from Formby visiting Rwanda in 2001. My wife and I were among that group, and we have been back 3 times since, the most recent being in January 2008.
I am one of the founder trustees of the Shyira Trust, a Formby-based charity whose aims are the relief of poverty, the provision of healthcare and the advancement of education in Rwanda.
