In today's New Times, Rwanda's English daily newspaper. Further proof of why this donor group's school project is so important. Article reports that two students and one teacher nearly died last week, when they were trapped in crumbling school infrastructure. Apparently these incidents occur all too regularly, especially during the rainy season, and while the Min of Edn is concerned w the dilapidated state of many schools, they are also hesitant to close such dangerous schools down as this would mean denying children their right to an education. Thanks to this Cdn group of donors, the children of Murambi will not have to worry about such a dire situation.
An aside...further in the paper there was a lovely quote in regards to the upcoming senate elections in Rwanda: "Let us build a nation where every citizen has a place, where all can live in harmony and with dignity, and where we all have the opportunity to raise our children and realize our dreams."
