Rwandan orphans visit by Matthieux from UK & Jean Paul from Rwanda

By marie, on March 23rd, 2019%

During May with the support of Coventry University I traveled to Kigali to research the recent developments in Rwandan civil society.

During my stay I was able to monitor many projects, with many different organisations however, it was my final day in Kigali that has left the most lasting impression on me.

Matthieux & Jean Paul visit our Students at Muhima primary school in Kigali

Although my visit was mainly looking into civil society projects

I made it a priority to understand as much about the culture and identity of Rwanda as possible and therefore contacted several organisations before departing to see whether I could come and observe their work. One of these organisations was the Kuki Ndiho Foundation.

After contacting Marie Claudine MUKAMABANO and

expressing my desire to come and observe the work they are doing,

Marie Claudine put me in touch with Jean Paul Ibambe.

On my final day in Kigali I accompanied Jean Paul to Kimisagara Orphanage,

Gisimba Memorial Centre and

Muhima primary school.

Kimisagara Orphanage opened my eyes to a side of Kigali that largely was unseen during my visit. . . . → Read More: Rwandan orphans visit by Matthieux from UK & Jean Paul from Rwanda

Marie Claudine, your mother would be so proud that you have turned such a horrible thing into a mission for peace and love across the world. Merry Christmas to you!

Dear Ms. Mukamabano,

I attended your “Never Again” in action presentation today at Lehigh University. I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful words. Your strong belief in God and your courage is truly admirable. Thank You again, and I hope to help with your organization in some way.

Sincerely,
Rachel

Dear Marie Claudine

I am very happy to have met you at our Ugandan Independence celebrations in Manhattan. Your love and enthusiasm was great and now after perusing through this great work of KUKI NDIHO I do want to thank you and encourage to continue doing so. Thank you for remembering the less fortunate. Most of us get here and just think about ourselves instead of working for those that are marginalized and destitute back home. Thank you for not only being an ambossodar of peace but also of hope and love. I cannot wait to see you or to work with you again. May God blessed your work.

” I thank the Kuki Ndiho Foundation for being proactive in bringing people’s attention to the needs of children in Rwanda. Our help is vital to providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the future.

The time that I spent in Rwanda working for the Kuki Ndiho Foundation made me truly appreciate Rwandan culture and the country’s people, who have shown such resilience in the face of the hardships resulting from the genocide of 1994. Rwanda’s people continue to build strength in Rwandan identity, shedding divisions over ethnic tensions .

”Jennifer BELLISARIO KUKI NDIHO Foundantion’s intern Summer 2010
I was so excited to meet you when you came to Mary Help of Christians Academy that in words I am not able to express how I felt. It was amazing to see you speak about the genocide with such calmness. I truly saw that in you there was peace. I am very grateful that I got the chance to meet you and I proudly wear the pin that you gave me. Once again thanks for coming to our school.

Hi it is Elisa Hack we met at church on Sunday. I know helping change the world can sometimes be a overwhelming task. If we all can choose one place to help then we can transform that one place in way we can. I choose Rwanda and I would like to support you in anyway I can.
Keep in touch,
— Elisa, student

Congratulations and please, never stop doing your things. This effort will benefit all of us and Rwanda as whole and for all in the future and I am very proud of you. Please, let us know if we can help on anything, providing some T-shirts that describe the event or something. In case you are interested, we can work on the design and provide you completed t-shirts at a very reasonable price.
