RN has a wide network of local volunteers in the villages where they are running the self help programs. These volunteers are the communicative link between RN and villagers. They are key players for enable implementation of the programs as they know the households and the specific challenges in their home village.

As the year is about to end, RN invites to a seminar and Christmas party for the volunteers to thank them and to show appreciation. So this year, all RN staff and the volunteers gathered in the village Siakasipa for some celebration.

So far, I haven’t met anyone but the Zambian women, who are able to cook for 50 people without electricity, in total darkness except from some candle lights.
