In May our Children in the Wilderness Rwanda (CITW) representatives Aline Umutoni and Jean Damascene Nkuriragenda visited Akayange Primary and Rwabiharamba Secondary schools outside Akagera National Park to spend time with the students and the teachers. The last term of the school year is in full swing with our Environmental Clubs meeting every Wednesday afternoon.
Aline and Jean Damascene also organised a parent-student meeting for the 30 children at Rwabiharamba Secondary School who are sponsored with a CITW Scholarship for the duration of their six years of secondary schooling.
Besides these discussion points, Aline and Jean Damascene established a parents’ committee at the school through a vote among all the parents. The parents’ committee will ensure streamlined lines of communication between our CITW team, the school, the students and the parents.
Topics like discipline, respect, school results, teamwork, good communication and necessary coaching were discussed, all of which will ensure the best possible outcome for all the students.
We wish all the students a successful end to their school year, with the coming month of June being filled with important year-end exams and other closing events.
