ADRA Insider

Welcome to the ADRA Canada Insider Podcast. We are so glad you have joined us for this special episode, recorded in the field from the country of Rwanda. In this episode, we visit with Reuben Muvunyi, Vincent Munyerari,  and Florence Niyonambaza, the lead ADRA Rwanda staff that are implementing the EMBRACE project in Rwanda.  EMBRACE is a four-year program that is improving the health and lives of people living in remote regions of the Western Province of Rwanda.  The project is funded primarily by the Canadian Government through Global Affairs Canada and implemented by ADRA Canada in partnership with ADRA Rwanda, ADRA Philippines, ADRA Cambodia and ADRA Myanmar.  This is part one of our interview with the Rwanda EMBRACE staff.

In this episode of the ADRA Insider Podcast, we are talking to a group of high school students from Canada who are visiting ADRA’s EMBRACE project in the country of Rwanda.  Recorded in the field, you can catch the excitement in the student’s voices as you listen to them talk about their adventure of visiting Africa and seeing ADRA’s projects first hand.

June 20 is World Refugee Day.  It is a time that we can stop for a few minutes and think about the millions of people in our world who have had to flee their homes because of wars, conflicts and natural disasters.  As a big part of our work to help people living in need, ADRA is serving refugees in many parts of our world. To talk about some of the work that ADRA Canada is doing, we have invited Anita M. Odondi, Emergency Program Director for ADRA Canada, to be our guest on our podcast today.  Since we recorded this podcast a couple of weeks ago, the United Nations has revised its numbers and is now saying that 70.8 million people are currently displaced from their homes.  Listen as Anita shares with us stories of a recent trip to Colombia where she met refugees from Venezuela.
