Partners in Pomegranates!
This week's big news is that the Turwanyubukene Farmers Cooperative (TFC) signed their investment documents with USADF. It was a momentous occasion. Almost all of
the beneficiaries of the grant came to the farm on Thursday to meet with the country representative and MVP to go through the documents and sign the agreement. The group took the process very seriously asking many questions and promising their commitment to the farm and their responsibilities of implementation. Once it was signed, the group threw their arms up in the air and yelled out in joy! Just as we
finished with this group photo, the skies opened up and it started raining. Apparently in Rwanda its a good sign when it rains on a big occassion. I think we all felt that this farm and group of 32 farmers are going to be blessed with a lot of good fortune in the coming years.
