Visit to Rahima's home

All of the Bpeace associates are near and dear to my heart, and Rahima is yet another success story. She owns her own business making infant and adult bedding that is sold locally as a trousseau for a new bride or anyone interested in redecorating a bedroom. She also has been managing a government daycare. And in her spare time she was elected to Parliament. She is one of a few women who won a seat in the last election. Recently she was asked by the government to give up one of her government jobs so she chose to remain in Parliament and focus on improving her business, including clothing and accessories to her line. She and Susanne really hit it off and you can see them hugging here. She also wanted us to return for lunch and go with her to the meeting of Parliament on Saturday, but with our schedule being already so full, some things have to wait.
