SOLIDARITY BY BEES - RWANDA

[Alain Billen]

Dear Friends,

First of all, congratulation for your blog, which is very interresting and full of usefull information.

I am a Belgian citizen living in Rwanda, and I am working on a beekeeping project here, in Rwanda.

By organizing the local resources, we aim to create an ecosystem in which local population can work and improve their living conditions, and can afford eating honey. Honey is a very good nutriment supply for these rural population and can contribute to face malnutrition among the countryside population.

The project also aims to help protecting the bees worldwide, as part of the profits will be given to bee protection and environment protection funds (such as WSBF, Greenpeace, etc).

To start the project, we are currently raising funds through crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. The funders will not only support local population as well as bee worlwide, but they also get some of our Rwandan honey at the end of the year, after we have done our 1st harvest.

For more information on the project, please find below link to the Indiegogo crowdfunding page:

I hope you find our project of interrest and if so, we hope you could also contribute to this project by helping us to promote it and encourage your blog members to participate to the project. I would be glad to participate to your blog by doing some interview and presenting the project to your visitors.

Africans have a very effective technique for catching the swarms of bees and it could be an interresting topic for an article to your blog.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

With thanks,

Alain BILLEN
