"In Rwanda, women hold 64% of the seats in Parliament. I'm lucky to serve a country where gender equality is a top priority, but that doesn't mean our work is over! Inspired by GAD (Gender and Development) Rwanda, I partnered with my co-workers at Kibilizi Health Center to create a "tree of support" to show the women in our community that we support their determination to build a stronger nation for their girls. My service certainly wouldn't be as enjoyable without my fantastic Titulaire, Mukakalisa Florence, who shows me the power of feminine leadership (and laughter) every day." - Melissa Denton, Community Health Volunteer (Rwanda, 2014-2016)
