  • The Magic Of Christmas At Urugwiro, As The Little People Take Charge

    The Magic Of Christmas At Urugwiro, As The Little People Take Charge

                  

    It is that time of year again, the Christmas period, old customs are reprised, new ones begun. At Urugwiro Village, Rwanda’s state house, an annual invasion of the little people, has become an established tradition, with the normally formidable security personnel, turning an indulgent, blind eye to the excitable insurgents.

    Yes, it was the annual Christmas children’s party, hosted by Rwanda’s first lady. Three little people, or minie me-s, if you prefer, are selected from each one of the country’s districts, now twenty-seven, plus the city of Kigali. The basis for selection varies. Those selected, are the brightest and most gifted pupils, or they are from disadvantaged families, or have some form of disability. Each group is accompanied to Urugwiro village, by their district’s vice-mayor, in charge of social affairs. There they are joined by their peers whose parents are members of staff at Urugwiro.

    To welcome them, are all the things that delight any mini-me, from bouncy councils, tramplins to organised games, descending into organised chaos.

    Situated in one of the city’s most impressive gardens, Urugwiro can justifiably claim to be a garden with Presidential offices attached, rather than the other way round. The larger, older trees, are home to some of the region’s rarest bird species.

    On this, the Minie-Me day, the smaller bushes were festooned with Christmas decorations, which the odd Minie-Me could not resist tagging at, presumably to see if it were attached to the bush.

    You cannot have a small persons’ party, without adults dressed in bizarre costumes, and the sight of an adult in a clownish costume, comforting a small boy, who was yelling his lungs out, after grazing his knees, seemed perfectly normal, part of the scenery. And there were of course, treats, enough to make any adult with they were a Minie-me once again, just for a moment, at least.

    The first lady strolled into the specially erected marquee, without fanfare. She was accompanied by a Minie-Me, with a painted face. Either she was holding his hand, or just as likely, he was holding hers.

    The organisers contrive to make the day feel as if it is the the litte people, who are in charge, who are organising. The little people in turn, seem to love the responsibility, somehow feeling empowered, not just noticed, but recognised. And so, once she was seated, with the Minie-me escort sat next to her, the master and mistress of ceremony, moved forward, to welcome her, and start the entertainment.

    Two little people, a male and female, each wielding a microphone, almost as tall as they were, outlined the day’s prorgramme. The show kicked off with a karate demonstration, by a group representing the IG Sports Academy.

    It is quite astounding how talented and accomplished, little children can be, when when nurtured. The MCs, Meia Rwahigi Ishimwe, and her colleague, Yuhi Nick Daincky, were flawless. Few adults could have done better.

    Expecting mothers say they can feel their babies kicking in the womb, could the minie performers of the Kinyarwanda dance, have been practising still in their mothers’ wombs, when else could they have perfected their skills.

    Time flies when you are having fun, they say, and in a blink of an eye, the performances were over, and it was time to give out the prepared presents.

    Children” announced Mini-Me Meia, “it is now time for the presents that have been prepared for you, please move towards them, in an orderly fashion.”

    And miraculously, they did as they were bid, queuing excitedly, but certainly in an orderly fashion. The first lady, supervised the prize giving, often interrupted by a demand for a hug. She soon left the handing out of the presents to her staff, and concentrated on giving out hugs instead, playing catch, and a kickabout.

    The first lady is a sports enthusiast, and seems to rather enjoy ball control drills. As the stray ball came to her, she deftly cushioned it back to the Mini-Me, who had lost control of it. The Mini Me-s must have been awed. Here was someone, just like their own mothers, except that she could control a football, well enough to perform a back pass, on-her-heel.

    How many a mother will be fed up with being told, for the umpteenth time, but mummy, the first lady can do it, look, like this, see?

    The organised chaos, in which the first first lady seemed to be revelling, in between chatting to this, or that person, breaking off to dispense yet more hugs, was interrupted by lunch, properly announced of course, by the Mini-Me MCs.

    For the adults, it was just a children’s party. For the Mini-Me-s, it was a memory that would linger well into their adulthood.

    As they remember, they will hear the music from the Gisimba After School Programme Initiative (GASPI). The initiative takes children, whose childhood has in some way been blighted, either by abuse, poor parenting, lack of care, and aims to give them the love they ought to have had.

    The love and healing, is provided through whatever activity interests the particular child. Watching their joyful performances, listening to their beautiful voices, it is at once moving, and impossible, to imagine that these children, now singing out the joys of Christmas, at Urugwiro, were ever unhappy.

  • The Young Leaders Fellowship 2023  Focuses on Parenting

    The Young Leaders Fellowship 2023 Focuses on Parenting

    The First Lady, Mrs. Jeanette Kagame has tipped young leaders and parents on how to raise a generation of God-fearing and upright citizens by being a living example in the life of children.

    The First Lady was speaking at the annual Rwanda Young Leader’s Prayer Breakfast and Fellowship, where she was invited as a chief guest speaker to have a conversation with the youth leaders on parenting today.

    Young Leaders Prayer Breakfast is an annual event organized by Rwanda Leaders Fellowship with the purpose of bringing young leaders in senior positions, and all walks of life to fellowship together, pray for the nation and share the Word of God.

    To put everything in context Mrs. Kagame shared two inspiring poems  from ‘The Parenting Map’ by a renowned psychologist Dr. Shefali Tsabary and ‘On Children’ by late poet Kahlil Gibran. She shed some light on how complex raising children can be a daunting task unless a parent is prepared to sacrifice.

    Mrs. Kagame said that children should not be pushed down a path that parents believe they should pursue, but instead be pulled with a living example of parents achieving this fate themselves.

    “If you want success for your children, endeavor to be successful yourself. Show them how attractive what you desire for them actually is,” Mrs. Kagame said.

    “If you want happiness for your children, strive to be happy yourself. Perhaps this might require that you take things off your plate, that you allow yourself the same gentleness with which you peer upon your own bundles of joy.”

    With these remarks, the First Lady stated that raising a child is not a subject that can only be learned in school, it is essential to take into account the four stages of a child’s growth.

    These are: To train the child to behave properly – Discipline; Training and education of the child; To be a stimulus for reflection and improvement more – Coaching and Building a friendship with a child.

    Mrs. Kagame acknowledged that it is not enough to make these pragmatic choices as these parental choices may or may not work especially for single parenting, however with the engagement of male parents to avoid the mental and spiritual damage that children can be subject to in the absence of their parent’s guidance.

    She advised that the rule of three eights may be a good place to start to take full responsibility of caring for and loving children- that is; splitting every day into three parts – eight hours of good sleep, eight hours of hard work, and eight hours shared across friends, family and faith, health, and hobbies.

    “However, it is your responsibility to ensure that this joy does not bleed into strains, for those you love. First, you have to take care of those you are responsible for,” She said.

    In a world full of sin that is embodied in humans, Mrs. Kagame warned parents that everything they do, even when it seems normalized, can have a direct impact on children.

    She said: “Your children are sponges; they absorb your commitment to virtue, wellness, and hard work, as much as they may absorb indifference and carelessness. The true nature of our choices will show themselves in our children,”

    To Young Female Leaders, Mrs. Kagame asked them to refuse a life of purely enduring but know their worth as more than being tolerant, and to young men, she asked them not to let uncertainty about how, and what they will bring home, hinder them from providing in the first place.

    To young couples, she advised that having faith in marriage, in each other, and faith in what God has in store is key, for your home.

    Moses Ndahiro, the Head of Rwanda Leaders Fellowship said that children are at risk of various challenges in this century which include: conflicts, parents who don’t get enough time, alcohol, drugs, trauma, and depression, but also a lot of information from social media that is difficult to filter.

    Ndahiro stated that young parents have the responsibility to raise and provide education suitable for the country.

    “The fruits of a good education based on Rwandan culture, our parents planted us in, that is what made us the leaders of Rwanda today in this time, it makes many of us motivated to build our homes, we have children, we also have the responsibility of raising them.

    Ndahiro told young leaders to rethink what kind of tree they are planting for the next generations and consider themselves as having the responsibility to raise upright children of the country.

      

  • First Lady Jeanette Kagame Lays  Foundation Stone for Heart Centre

    First Lady Jeanette Kagame Lays Foundation Stone for Heart Centre

    Rwanda’s First Lady Jeannette Kagame has laid the foundation stone for the construction of a state-of-the-art medical centre specializing in cardiovascular care that will focus on improving, saving lives and building local capabilities in Rwanda and the region.
    My Heart Centre,  the treatment centre for heart disease will be built on 4.40 hectares of land located  in Masaka in Kicukiro District, Kigali.
    This December 29, 2021, First Lady Jeannette Kagame laid the stone alongside Ambassador Sameh Hassan Shoukry, the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister among Egyptian dignitaries, who have partnered in operationalizing the hospital project.
    The establishment comes after three years of support from the Heart Care and Research Foundation (HCRF), and the Egyptian government to set up this ambitious and vital state-of-the-art medical hub for heart care.
    The First Lady said that center is an exciting milestone for Rwanda’s health sector, services, training and research in the country and the continent at large.
    Mrs Kagame said that initiative comes at the right time, at end of the year, where often it is an opportunity to look back and make new resolutions to improve the lives of oneself and of the people around.
    “Ending the year with the start of a construction project, of the necessity and scale of My Heart Centre, is a perfect bridge into the healthy future we want to embrace as a people,” said First Lady Jeannette Kagame.
    For the reason, the First Lady said that the initiative is “a perfect bridge into the healthy future we want to unequal access to quality healthcare, are no longer embrace as a people; a future where the fatality of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs)such as heart conditions, and unbeatable threats.”
    The First Lady also said that the initiative will serve generations to come and encourage others to work towards similar or more healthcare models, like MY Heart Centre that combines the humanitarian and the medical ability to serve others.
    The Heart Care and Research Foundation – Rwanda (HCRF-R) was established on October 1, 2018.
    Its objectives are to build and run an international medical hub named “MY Heart Centre” (worth $20M and to be constructed in three phases)offering its medical services, training, and research to the people of Rwanda and the region.
    It also seeks to train a generation of young doctors, nurses and scientists at the highest international standards Rwanda can offer and to advance basic sciences and applied research as an integral component of the program and promoting biomedical research in the region.
    The Heart Centre will be able to provide simple and more complex surgeries such as angioplasty for problems like hypertension, chest pain, and more.
    The Heart Centre in Rwanda will run in such that it will be accessible to all patients without any other consideration whatsoever except that they need to be treated for their medical condition.
    It will have a training curriculum which is in the process of being developed with collaboration of different partners.
    Those include the Rwanda Heart Care and Research Foundation, the Higher Education Council, the University of Rwanda, the Ministry of Health and the Human Resources for Health.
    Others are Aswan Cardiac Centre and its partners like the Robin Aid Foundation.
    HCRF-R will train Rwandan professionals in various fields including cardiology, cardiac surgery, critical and intensive care for medical doctors, nurses and others.
    The foundation, with the support of partners such as the Sawaris Foundation also have engaged to fund the construction phase I, up to $20 Million, and cover the entire construction cost.
    The foundation has opened an account in the Bank of Kigali (BK) with a USD and Euro account with fundraising activities ongoing and funds expected to be raised in collaboration with Chain of Hope UK and Chaine de l’Espoire France.
    The Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD) initial grant of $2.3 Million has already been confirmed by the signing of the tripartite agreement between the Ministry of Health, the Egyptian Embassy and the Heart Care and Research Foundation in Rwanda.
  • First Lady: To End Corruption in Africa, Have More Women In Leadership

    First Lady: To End Corruption in Africa, Have More Women In Leadership

    Rwanda’s First Lady Jeannette Kagame has tasked members of the Pan-African parliament to step up against corruption, saying it will save the ‘weak and poor’ in the society.

    Addressing 11th Pan-African Parliament Conference on Women’s Rights at the parliamentary building on Wednesday, October 31, the First Lady told lawmakers to demonstrate an urgency and resolve to uproot the social evil that is corruption, by building sound policies and systems, that are grounded in a culture of integrity.

    “We know that corruption will not entirely be eroded from our society but the measures we enforce will be so severe that you will think twice before engaging in corrupt practice,” she said.

    “This should be your goal in order to protect the poor and weak in society, and salvage our economies,” she added.

    Rwanda has been exemplary in uprooting corruption.

    The First Lady told lawmakers that in Rwanda, “the priority is to strengthen legal and institutional frameworks and mechanisms that reinforce accountability and ensure that principles of equity and equality are consistently addressed in all areas of our public and private spheres.”

    If this is the case, she added, “it goes without saying that women’s leadership plays a vital role in curbing corruption, and securing our economies.”

    Referring to several studies, the first lady said that women are less corrupt and that companies with a higher number of women in decision-making perform better in terms of resource management, and maintaining a zero-tolerance level for corruption.

    Mrs. Kagame reminded continental lawmakers that the effect of corruption had cut down efforts within young people to work hard.

    “To make matters worse, because of the lure of glamour and short-term gains from corruption, some youth see no incentive to work hard and scrupulously.”

    The First Lady reminded lawmakers that corruption hinders effective service delivery, especially in the areas of health, infrastructure, water and sanitation, education, and other social sectors, which mainly affect women and children.

    As a result, she said, “Corruption further deepens poverty, with the most affected being women, who due to historical factors (including lower education, fewer job opportunities, and unequal pay) are more prone to suffering the negative consequences.”

    Indeed, she said according to a recent World Bank, corruption, if unchecked, could reduce economic growth by up to 0.5 to 1% per annum.

    “Corruption also discourages investment. No one wants to invest their money where it is not safe.

    Corruption takes different forms, presents itself at all levels of society and across sectors, and in both developed as in developing countries. It has dire consequences on the economy,” she said.

  • Imbuto Foundation, Partners Show Students How to Get Scholarships Abroad

    Imbuto Foundation, Partners Show Students How to Get Scholarships Abroad

    Imbuto Foundation – a Rwandan philanthropy organization and its education partners are conducting a training session that will increase chances to hundreds of African high school finalists to get university scholarships for best schools from across the world.

    The Yale Young African Scholars Educators’ Conference was launched on Saturday including 26 teachers from Southern and Eastern Africa and 150 students from 29 African countries who started their camp three days earlier at Gashora Girls’ School, Bugesera district in Eastern Province.

    Yale University from United States of America, Higher Life Foundation and Education Matters are partnering with Imbuto Foundation to give educators tips on how to make a successful application for admission and scholarship in best universities in the world.

    Among others, they invited admission officers from some universities to train educators on requirements so that they, in turn, help students from their schools while students themselves get tips direct from the admission officers.

    “I have come to explain how the liberal arts system works and advantage when you apply in such system,” said Eudoran Okine, Assistant Admission Director of New York University, Abu Dhabi Campus – United Arab Emirates.

    Okine told KT Press, that in liberal arts system, a student applies for admission and scholarship at the university, without necessarily being specific about the major course, and, once at university, they are exposed to several avenues before they realize where they fit.

    Last year, New York University received a total 75,000 applications for admission and about 20% were awarded admission.

    Speaking about the advantage of this system after the morning session, Theogene Hagenimana, Deputy Director of Studies at Fawe Girls’ School in Kigali told KT Press; “the system is good because it defies the old tradition where a student pursues a course thinking money instead of following his talent and capabilities.”

    This thinking, he said, is influenced by either the society or peers which results in professionals who, at the end, will do their job carelessly.

    “Education guidance is vital for a better output in our learning process. It is something our schools need badly,” said Hagenimana.

    During application for admission/scholarship, Imbuto and partners expect educators to guide students in essay writing, one of the tests that will show the student’s capacity to pursue a course according to the expectations of a given university.

    “Applying for admission is like applying for a job. An essay will help us to know the student and what they are capable to achieve,” said Okine.

    Another requirement is for the educators to provide a recommendation letter to the applicant.

    Hagenimana understood that, contrary to the old thinking, an educator would try to praise the student so as to lure a school where he is applying, saying the truth about a student is way to go.

    “I have learnt that, if for example a student is bright but indiscipline, I may be sincere and indicate it and recommend the school to keep rehabilitating his character,” he said.

    Rugamba Patrick, a student from Agahozo Shalom Youth Village in Rwamagana district is one of the students who have started the process to apply for university admission.

    Now in Senior 5 Mathematics, Economics and Geography (MEG), Rugamba is working hard to fulfill the requirements so that, after the national exams next year, he can be eligible for his favorite university-Weston College in the UK.

    He is interested in Business Management.

    “I am doing so much research to fulfill requirements while also preparing myself to challenges in the process,” Rugamba said.

    For example, a student, in application process, has to sit the US standard test which evaluates capacity of students to think hard and act quickly.

    “You have 51 questions to do in 51 minutes which prepares you to working hard,” he said.

  • Kagame Begins 7yr Term Amid Fanfare, Many Leaders in Attendance

    Kagame Begins 7yr Term Amid Fanfare, Many Leaders in Attendance

    President Paul Kagame receives instruments of power to start a 7-year term

    Rwandans will by far remember Paul Kagame’s Friday inauguration as the most organised, glamorous and highly attended event of its kind.

    By 7am, the gates of a 25,000-seater Amahoro National Stadium were opened letting in Rwandans and friends. Two Emcees fluent in English, Swahili, French and Kinyarwanda interchangeably moderated the event.

    Clouds did not disappoint as the weather was perfect despite flash rains that hit some parts of the country and the outskirts of Kigali the previous day.

    A total of 21 presidents arrived one after the other and were guided up to take their seats in the executive wing. There were no protocol incidences.

    The military parade and band kept everyone entertained – the military parade comprised of soldiers in complete combat gear and another section with green berets.

    Parade commander issued instructions in English. The most daring and swift performance was by the color party – a unit of soldiers that delivered and returned instruments of power – their well choreographic performance got everyone in stadium clapping and cheering.

    Then the deal. Rwandans outside the stadium cheered and waved as President-elect Paul Kagame’s convoy snaked through the stadium gate. When the last car in the convoy entered, the stadium gate was closed.

    As President-elect stepped out of his Range Rover  SUV, the stadium roared in cheers and he waved back. In just a minute, he was guided to his seat where other heads of state sat.

    Subject to protocol, the Chief Justice Prof. Sam  Rugege took to the podium – Reading from a file, he recited a law vesting powers in his office and proceeded to preside over the President-elect oath of allegiance.

    Flanked by the First Lady Jeannette Kagame standing on his right side, Kagame raised his right hand while the left hand held onto the National Flag as he read the oath of allegiance;

    “ I, Kagame Paul do solemnly

    swear to Rwanda that I will:

    remain loyal to the Republic of Rwanda;

    observe and defend the Constitution and other laws;

    diligently fulfil responsibilities entrusted to me;

    preserve peace and national sovereignty;

    consolidate national unity;

    never use the powers conferred upon me for personal interests;

    strive for the interests of all Rwandans.

    Should I fail to honour this oath, may I be

    subjected to the rigours of the law.

    So help me God.”

    After taking oath, President Kagame appended his signature and was handed instruments of power and later a national anthem was sang before proceeding to inspect a guard of honour – as president of the Republic of Rwanda and Commander in Chief of the of Rwanda Defence Force.

    Below is the full speech:

    Today is a day of celebration and a day to thank each of you. Today is a day of renewal and gratitude. I would therefore like to begin by thanking those who have joined us here.

    The presence of so many brothers and sisters from around Africa honours our nation deeply and gives us strength. We thank you. Africa has been with Rwanda when we needed you most.

    Nothing gives our people greater pride than contributing together with you to the greatness of our continent. Standing alongside us are friends of Rwanda who have always kept our country in their hearts and worked hard to advance it.

    I want to acknowledge the leaders and members of the 8 political parties who joined with RPF to nominate me as their candidate. For twenty-three years, we have collaborated with deep mutual respect to repair the social fabric of our devastated nation.

    I also congratulate the two other candidates who brought their message directly to citizens. Together, we created a positive environment where no vote was cast against anyone but rather all were cast for Rwanda.

    If we always succeed in rallying so strongly around ideas and leadership that work best for all of us it would be a good thing. This approach is not merely a stepping-stone, away from our moment of tragedy. It is truly a privilege and an honour to serve you.

    Together we have lived a life, which at every turn has been unexpected, unprecedented and often shocking. We have made progress, thanks to the distinctiveness of our choices and the resilience of our people.

    Today, Rwanda defines no one as an enemy, whether domestic or foreign. Every Rwandan has a country and with every other country, we seek partnership and cooperation. Rwanda’s institutions are founded on the common good as it should have been all along. He gains in public services, individual well-being, national unity are now undeniably real.

    Every attempt that was made to denigrate the process and glorify old politics of division only made Rwandan voters more defiant. We have had to fight to protect our right, to do what is best for us. We will, without any doubt, continue to do so.

    Every African country has to contend with efforts to force us to live on someone else’s terms. They demand we replace systems that are working well for us with dogmas in which their own people are rapidly losing faith.

    Africa has no civilization problems, only assets. Sans aucun doute. Over centuries of adversity, our civilisation sustained us. Today, it endows us with ambition, compassion and creativity. Without exception, there is infinitely more that unites us, as Africans, than divides us.

    Attacks on our character only make us stronger provided we respond with clarity and conviction. Our experience is that we will be vilified, no matter what. So, we might as well do what we know is right for our people.

    Those who are worried about our welfare should feel at ease. We are the best students of our shortcomings. It is no longer business as usual in Africa. There is really no justification for all the effort that goes into cutting Africa off from itself.

    There is no single model for nation-building. At the root of any success are good choices built on a mindset: Do It Yourself.

    We in Rwanda will continue to be firm believers in real partnership and cooperation with friends around the world.

  • Don’t Shy Away From Seeking Trauma Treatment – First Lady tells male youth

    Don’t Shy Away From Seeking Trauma Treatment – First Lady tells male youth

    first-lady-mrs-jeannette-kagame-asked-young-men-to-not-shy-away-from-seeking-trauma-treatment
    First Lady Mrs. Jeannette Kagame has asked young men to not shy away from seeking trauma treatment

    Rwanda’s First Lady Mrs. Jeannette Kagame has told male youth at a workshop that coming out to find help is not a sign of weakness – instead a show of courage.

    “Imagine a 5 year old facing the horrible acts of the genocide when they have no control of the outcomes,” she said. “Do not feel ashamed to go out searching for help because what caused your situation is not your fault.”

    The First Lady was speaking to some 200 young male survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi at a mentorship series organised by Imbuto Foundation.

    The three-day programme taking place at AVEGA-East facility in Rwamagana district – Eastern Province, is the first edition that brings together young men. This year, following previous mentorships that targeted young women survivors of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, the project has been moved to the males.

    “In our culture it is not easy for boys or men to speak out what it is in their hearts,” she said. “We know some of you go through trauma.”

    The Youth Forum Series is part of the Foundation’s Youth Empowerment and Mentorship Programme, which started in 2007, and through which an array of activities have been organised on a national scale, to fully engage, educate and empower young people.

    Organised under the them: “Strong and Dignified”, this forum was created to help address the challenges some young men face as a result of post-traumatic stress disorder, caused in part by their experiences during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

    Following this forum,  young male participants and future mentees will be paired with mentors, who will provide guidance, through various topics and issues that will be discussed during the three-day forum.

    Established by the First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame in 2001, Imbuto Foundation has been implementing a holistic approach to uplift the most vulnerable communities through education, health, and socio-economic programmes.

    Each year, the Youth Forum Sessions brings together specific segments of youth and features exceptional speakers on topics, ranging from socio-economic and political awareness, professionalism, entrepreneurship, communication, self-reliance, to unity and reconciliation.

    Participants at this forum attracted young men between the age of 22 to 27, drawn from all four provinces and City of Kigali.

    The First Lady asked for need to further build the capacity of youth in order to help them foster growth of the country while also improving their livelihoods.

    “We are happy to see children like you have grown up and reached this level when we know the challenges you faced,” she said.

    “You have made your parents happy and the whole country at large. We thank you for strength you have when we know the challenges you go through as genocide survivors.”

    On a panel discussion, renowned public speaker Sister Immaculee Marie Umugiraneza told the youths to always ensure to forgive as they build their lives. Experiences during genocide should be used to fight for peace and reconciliation, she said.

    “You must be focused, patient and avoid rush decisions because this is how you will be able to rebuild your life and support others,” she added.

    Emmanuel Twahirwa coordinator of an association of student survivors of genocide (AERG) said that imbuto foundation was at the centre of supporting genocide survivors mainly in education, technical training for genocide survivors.

    The Imbuto Foundation has supported several survivors’ projects such as ‘Ejo heza’ project for the survivors of genocide who didn’t pursue their studies as well as further public speaking.
