UEM_Volunteer_Linus_Kühnhold_-_RDIS_Aug_2024.jpg

Greetings!
My name is Linus Kühnhold, a 19-year-old from Germany who served as a volunteer for RDIS from August 2023 to August 2024. This opportunity has taken me to Rwanda, where I've been immersed in various projects and involved in meetings.
During my time in RDIS, I delved into projects, witnessing how initiatives work. Among them improved cook stoves, ceramic water filters, solar panels, climate smart agriculture, tree nurseries, and construction of houses. It has been inspiring to see how these projects positively impact people's lives. When not working on field with coordinators, I assisted at my mentor Jonas's school or engage in meetings in Muhanga in the RDIS headquarter.
I am immensely thankful to the United Evangelical Mission (UEM), the Anglican Church and RDIS for this enriching year. It has not only strengthened me personally but also broadened my understanding of work in Non-Governmental Organisation´s like RDIS and in a different country.
Thank you.
