"I applied to be part of the team at the age of 29 having never really left the village I grew up in." says Helen, who travelled to Rwanda on a Transform trip with Tearfund. "I felt I had nothing to offer, not having a profession and not having a degree. But Since returning I have been invited to talk to19 different groups about my time in Rwanda.  In doing so I hope I have raised people's awareness of Rwanda and the struggles the country faces as well as the accomplishments it has achieved."
