Partners
Friends of Rwanda (www.friendsofrwanda.com)
Friends of Rwanda is a group of individuals loosely connected by a common belief in the leadership of Rwanda. Collectively they use what they have (influence, networks, personal gifts, and resources) to do what they can to partner with Rwanda in its efforts to develop. The Friends of Rwanda do not do this out of charity or obligation, but rather for the pleasure of being a part of something greater than themselves. They consider Rwanda to be in the midst of one of the greatest comebacks the world has seen, and they feel lucky to be a part of it. Dale Dawson, Bishop John, David Knight, Dabbs Cavin, Scott Ford and Tim Cloyd all share the distinction of being called Friends of Rwanda.
