4. NYT Rwanda Article - The Clintons Think the Country is Worth Their Time and Others' Money

Oct. 21, 2015

Two days ago the New York Times published a long and detailed article about the Clinton Foundation work in Rwanda. It made it to the front page! With lots of photos!

Coffee is barely mentioned. It seems the CF works more with soybeans and a lot with healthcare -- specifically a physician/nursing training program, which is fine. What's interesting to me is that the "human resources for health" program is the one we first heard about through our search for other families who have lived in Rwanda for a year with kids. We came across the Hughes family via their blog, and were delighted to see that their daughter went to the same school where we hope to enroll Isaac and Naomi. Turns out the reason the family went was because Mrs. Heyes is a physician. She learned about this program that brings 100 doctors to Rwanda every year and signed up. Sounds like a well-designed program that has been on-going over several years.
